In the glass

Full-bodiedFirm tanninMedium acidityDryLong finish

Aroma: black currant, earth

Palate: black currant, toasted almond

The estate Saperavi: bold, earthy and dry, with black currant and toasted almond over an elegant, natural tannin structure built entirely in clay.

What it pairs with

  • Roasted meats
    Named first by the winery; natural tannin at this level wants roast meat.
  • Rich, creamy sauces
    Pheasant's Tears specifically recommends creamy sauces, which the wine's tannin cuts.
  • Mtsvadi
    The Kakhetian vine-cutting grill is the wine's home table, a short walk from the cellar.
