The Wine’s Story
Saphere is prized for its finesse and freshness, making it a unique and charming expression of Georgian winemaking tradition.
Otskhanuri Sapere is a rare and ancient Imeretian red grape variety, known for producing elegant, medium-bodied wines with balanced tannins and lively acidity. It offers delicate aromas of red berries, cherries, and floral notes, often accompanied by subtle spice and earthy undertones.
The 2018 harvest was exceptionally good in the Imereti region.
The grapes are hand-picked and fermented with a few days of skin contact in traditional qvevri.
*Naturally made wine with minimal sulfites
