2021 Marani Saperavi

The 2021 Marani Saperavi is your ticket to bold, juicy deliciousness and a little slice of wine history. Saperavi, which means ‘paint’ or ‘dye,’ doesn’t mess around, its deeply pigmented skin and red-tinged juice create wines that are as vibrant as they are intriguing. Hailing from Georgia, largely considered the birthplace of winemaking, like a postcard from the past, sent straight to your glass.

The process is all about precision and care. Grapes are hand-picked at their ripest, softly de-stemmed, and fermented at just the right temperature. Fancy techniques like délestage and remontage help extract the perfect balance of colour, flavour, and body. After a little malolactic magic, some of the wine gets cosy in French oak barrels for a few months, adding a dash of complexity to the mix.

What can you expect? Think dark purple hues and bold flavours that dance between blackberries, licorice, and a little smoky spice, with just a whisper of chocolate. High acidity and structured tannins give it a backbone that’s built to last, but it’s just as happy to be enjoyed right now.

If you love Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Nebbiolo, Saperavi might just be your new best friend. Pair it with grilled meats, rich stews, or an epic cheese board and let it shine. This is Georgia’s star grape, ready to wow your taste buds and make every sip a little adventure.
