Tchotiashvili Saperavi 2017 Dry Red Wine 750ml 13.5% (Georgia)

🍷 Tchotiashvili Saperavi Qvevri 2017 is a dry red wine from Kakheti, Georgia, made from Saperavi using the traditional Kakhetian qvevri method. This numbered release comes in a 750ml bottle at 13.5% alcohol. The vintage is 2017, while the bottling date is 10 May 2021.

The colour is deep ruby with violet reflections. Black cherry, blackberry, plum and blackcurrant lead the aroma, followed by peppery spice and delicate tobacco and chocolate nuances. The palate is full-bodied, with firm tannins and strong, balanced acidity. Dark fruit and spice continue through a long finish. Tannins can soften and gain a more velvety texture with maturation.

🍽️ Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting before pouring. Beef steak, braised or roasted meat, aged cheeses and vegetable dishes make suitable companions. Choose a generous wine glass, pour a modest amount and take a moment to explore the bouquet. When planning a dinner, build the pairing around the main dish and use the wine’s structure to complement its texture and flavour.

The wine contains sulphites. Open the bottle carefully and pour slowly if a natural sediment is visible. For a tasting, compare the first impression with a later glass and notice how fruit, spice and texture interact. This Saperavi offers a focused way to explore Georgian qvevri winemaking, share a bottle over dinner or select a gift for someone who enjoys wines with a clearly identified origin. Store the closed bottle away from direct sunlight and temperature swings.
