Tchotiashvili Simonaseuli SB 2022 Dry Red Wine 750ml 13.5% (Georgia)

🍷 Tchotiashvili Simonaseuli SB 2022 is a Georgian dry red qvevri wine made from Simonaseuli, an indigenous Kakhetian grape variety. This 2022 vintage belongs to the winery's Specially Bottled selection and comes in a 750ml bottle at 13.5% ABV. Its combination of a named local grape and traditional winemaking makes it an interesting bottle for exploring Kakheti.

🏺 The wine is made in qvevri using the traditional Kakhetian method. The SB selection brings together selected wines from each vintage; individual bottles are checked and signed by the winemaker, and the release is limited and individually numbered. The handwritten front label and red wax capsule reflect that presentation. The bottle was filled on 5 February 2023.

🍇 Its character brings together a pronounced varietal aroma with a soft, harmonious palate. The producer's Simonaseuli SB profile describes dark plum, blackberry and cherry, with dried-fruit nuances and a spicy background. A full body, velvety texture and pronounced tannins give this style structure. Tchotiashvili Simonaseuli SB 2022 is a useful choice for drinkers who want to explore a distinctive Georgian red alongside food.

🍽️ Serve it at 16–18°C. The producer recommends decanting and pairing with beef steak, braised or roasted meat, aged cheese and vegetable dishes. A red-wine glass gives room to explore the aroma before tasting. For a shared dinner, choose savoury dishes that complement the wine's fruit and texture.

✨ Tchotiashvili Simonaseuli SB 2022 is unfiltered, and a small natural sediment may be present. Pour gently if you prefer to leave sediment in the bottle. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat. The wine contains sulphites.
