Description

This outstanding, fruit-forward red wine greets with complex aromas of cherries, ripe pomegranate and forest fruit. Full-bodied, with an outstanding structure and a complex palate, Mildiani Saperavi Unfiltered 2021 has a great ageing potential.

The grapes for Mildiani Saperavi Unfiltered 2021 come from old vines grown at altitudes of 700 metres above sea level in Kakheti, Georgia. The wine was crafted according to the ancient Georgian qvevri tradition. Crushed grapes were put in qvevri – large clay amphorae burried undeground. The wine was wildly fermented and aged on the grapes skins in qvevri for 3 months. Bottled unfiltered, it is a gorgeously pure expression of the Saperavi grape.

Julia Harding, Master of Wine:

“Deepest crimson with a smudgy rim. Intense aroma with the sweetness and spice of the best Portuguese Alicante Bouschet. Deep, smooth and generous; firm, dry and very well balanced between fruit and structure in a big, mouth-filling wine.”

These are ancient winemaking traditions, several millennia old.

Saperavi

Saperavi is one of the most ancient Georgian varieties. It is the flagship of Georgian winemaking, often being referred to as “hero grape”. Saperavi makes some of the best Georgian reds, both dry and sweet. These wines are incredibly rich and powerful, with grippy tannins, lively acidity and extensive range of  flavours. They are notoriously dark and have a tremendous ageing potential.
