🍷 Tchotiashvili Dark Uta SB 2019 is a dry red wine from Georgia, presented in the winery’s Specially Bottled series. This 750ml bottle carries 13% alcohol and identifies its grapes as Tavkveri and Shiraz. The handwritten front label makes the vintage and blend clear, while the SB stamp distinguishes this edition within the producer’s range.
🍇 The blend brings Georgian Tavkveri together with Shiraz in a qvevri wine from Kakheti. Its identity rests on those two named grapes and the traditional vessel specified on the bottle. Dark Uta offers a useful introduction to a Georgian red blend that combines a local variety with an internationally familiar partner, rather than a single-grape bottling.
🏺 The bottle describes traditional qvevri production and records bottling on 5 July 2020. It is unfiltered, so a small natural deposit can occur. Its label also carries an individual bottle number and the winemaker’s signature, linking this particular bottle to the limited Specially Bottled presentation.
🫐 The producer describes a deep red colour with violet reflections, dark berries, hawthorn and plum-like fruit, with pepper and cinnamon. The palate is substantial and refined, with defined tannins and gentle acidity; dark chocolate nuances may develop with age. A long finish completes the fruit-led profile.
🥩 Serve Tchotiashvili Dark Uta at 14–16°C and consider decanting. The producer recommends beef steak, braised or roasted meat, aged cheese and vegetable dishes. This gives Dark Uta a place at a varied dinner table, with its structured red-wine character accompanying savoury food.
📦 Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight in a ventilated storage space. The back label specifies 5–20°C and 70–85% relative humidity for storage; these are separate from the recommended serving temperature. Contains sulphites. The identified lot is L1116UTA2222, and the bottle barcode is 4860108420218.
