🍷 Tchotiashvili Budeshuri Saperavi 2017 is a dry red wine from Kakheti, Georgia, presented in the winery’s Collection Wine series. Made from Budeshuri Saperavi grapes using the traditional qvevri method, it comes in a 750ml bottle at 14% alcohol. The bottle brings together a named Georgian grape, a vintage and a distinctive collection presentation.
🏺 Qvevri winemaking is central to this wine’s identity. The grapes are vinified in traditional earthenware vessels, connecting the wine with the Kakhetian approach to production. For a tasting of Georgian red wines, it offers a clear example of a dry red made with this method and with Budeshuri Saperavi as its grape variety.
✍️ The Collection Wine series brings together selected reserve wines. Each bottle undergoes quality control and carries the oenologist’s signature together with a unique number. These details distinguish its presentation and make the individual bottle part of the collection’s identity. The tan label, illustrated grape cluster and dark wax seal reinforce that individual character.
🥂 The wine is red in colour, with a pronounced varietal aroma and a soft, harmonious taste. Begin with a small pour and take time to explore its character in the glass. Rather than rushing through the tasting, return to it during the meal and consider how the aroma and texture work together.
🌡️ Serve at 16–18°C. Decanting is recommended to help the wine open before drinking. Pair it with steak, braised red meat or aged aromatic cheese; vegetable dishes and baked preparations are further options. Choose the combination that suits your table and leave space for the wine’s own character.
🎁 This 2017 Collection Wine is a considered choice for someone interested in Georgian qvevri wines and individually numbered bottles. Its signature and vintage offer useful talking points when sharing it. Store the bottle away from direct sunlight in a cool, ventilated place, and remember that this wine contains sulphites.
