Tiko Estate The Edge Saperavi 2020 Dry Red Wine 750ml 14.5% (Georgia)

🍷 Tiko Estate The Edge Saperavi 2020 Dry Red Wine is a Georgian dry red wine made from 100% Saperavi. It comes from Kakheti and brings together the grape's dark-fruit character with the influence of French oak. The 750ml bottle contains 14.5% alcohol and forms part of the family-owned winery's The Edge range.

🍇 The grapes for this vintage were hand-picked from old vines in the Alazani River gorge. After fermentation, the wine was pressed into French oak barriques and matured for 18 months. The producer specifies a combination of new and seasoned barrels. Before bottling, the wine was naturally clarified and lightly filtered, retaining its emphasis on texture and fruit.

🪵 Its deep purple colour is accompanied by dark cherry aromas and a spicy hint of black pepper. The palate is refined, with plentiful fruit, subtle oak nuances and a gentle tannic texture. The producer describes a bold, rounded style, making this a useful choice for drinkers who enjoy a substantial dry red with oak influence. Tiko Estate The Edge Saperavi 2020 received a Bronze medal and 86 points at IWSC 2024, an award tied to this particular vintage.
