Rcheuli Qvevri Saperavi 750ml 13.5% (2017)

Rcheuli Qvevri Saperavi is a limited dry red qvevri wine from Kakheti, Georgia, made from Saperavi and presented in a 750ml bottle at 13.5% ABV. The 2017 vintage brings a clearly identified grape, place and style together in one bottle. It is a useful choice for drinkers looking for a fact-led introduction to Georgian wine rather than an anonymous, generic label. 🍇

The winemaking follows traditional qvevri winemaking and natural bottle ageing. This approach allows the fruit, the vintage and the place of origin to remain central to the wine’s character. The wine is unfiltered, so a small natural sediment may appear in the bottle; this is normal for the style and does not indicate a fault. Rcheuli Qvevri Saperavi is best opened with care and given a short moment in the glass before tasting.

Expect a pronounced varietal aroma. On the palate, it has a soft, harmonious and structured palate. The result is a wine with detail and balance rather than a heavy or overworked profile. Serve it at 16–18°C to let the aroma, texture and finish show clearly. Rcheuli Qvevri Saperavi works equally well at the dinner table and when a more distinctive bottle is wanted for sharing. 🍷

Food pairing is straightforward: enjoy it with grilled meat, roast dishes, aged cheese and rich Georgian cuisine. The wine’s freshness, structure and traditional character make it a natural match for food, especially dishes with roasted, grilled or savoury flavours. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an attentive tasting bottle.

This is a Rcheuli Qvevri limited series made by Tchotiashvili. It is a considered choice for discovering Georgian wine, adding a distinctive bottle to a meal, or giving to someone who appreciates origin, vintage and traditional winemaking. Store away from light and heat, then serve at the recommended temperature. 🎁
