Bimbili Mujuretuli Reserve 2020 is a dry red wine from Bostana in Racha, Georgia, produced by Itsis Marani LLC. Made from Mujuretuli grapes grown on a steep, south-facing slope, this Reserve bottling connects a specific village and vintage with a clearly defined maturation process. The wine is produced using classical winemaking methods before spending nine months in a 400-litre French oak barrel.
The aromatic character brings together varietal fruit expression and tones developed during oak ageing. Fruit aromas remain part of the wine’s identity, while oak contributes a further layer to the experience. On the palate, the wine is balanced, with a long, pleasant finish. Enjoy it slowly enough to explore the relationship between fruit and oak, then return to the glass as it opens.
The producer recommends decanting for thirty to forty minutes before serving. If you are opening the bottle for dinner, allow time for this step in advance. We recommend serving at 16–18°C in a red wine glass with enough space to assess the aroma. These serving suggestions offer a practical starting point and can be adjusted to personal preference.
Suggested food pairings include grilled meats, roasted meats, poultry, charcuterie and aged cheese. Choose preparations that allow you to compare the wine’s fruit and oak character with the seasoning and richness of the meal. A simple roast or a selection of mature cheeses is an accessible way to begin; more richly seasoned dishes can be explored according to your taste.
This 2020 bottling contains 750ml at 14.5% alcohol by volume and was bottled on 12 November 2023. Bimbili Mujuretuli Reserve offers a focused introduction to a single Georgian red grape from Racha with a confirmed period of French oak maturation. The wine is filtered and contains sulphites.
