Tchotiashvili Shiraz Red Wine 750ml 13% (2018, Kakheti, Georgia)
Tchotiashvili Shiraz is a distinguished, limited-edition dry red wine, part of the Specially Bottled series from the acclaimed Tchotiashvili Family Winery in Kakheti. Crafted with traditional Georgian precision and elegance, it showcases the deep connection between ancient Qvevri winemaking and the expressive nature of the Shiraz grape 🍇🏺
Made using Kakhetian Qvevri technology, the wine undergoes 3.5 months of maceration on full grape skins, pips, and stems — a natural process that brings depth, color, and authentic character. It is then aged for 3 months in oak barrels, gaining complexity, smooth tannins, and a refined finish
No filtration or artificial additives are used — only minimal sulfites (SO₂) for barrel and Qvevri sanitation
In the glass, Tchotiashvili Shiraz reveals a pomegranate-red color with a soft purple hue
On the nose — aromas of fresh red berries, cherry, blackcurrant, and subtle spice
On the palate — structured and full-bodied, yet elegant, offering layers of ripe fruit, oak, and earthy minerality, with a long-lasting, harmonious finish
Each bottle in the Specially Bottled collection is a testament to artisanal craftsmanship — individually numbered and signed by the oenologist, ensuring authenticity and exclusivity
Best served at 16–18°C, it pairs beautifully with roasted meats, aged cheeses, lamb dishes, and Georgian cuisine such as chakapuli or mtsvadi 🧀🥩🍇
Tchotiashvili Shiraz is more than a wine — it’s a story of patience, purity, and passion, celebrating Georgia’s timeless winemaking spirit 🇬🇪✨
