About the Wine
Saperavi grapes were harvested at 22–23° Brix to provide ripeness and structure. Grapes were crushed and destemmed. The must was then inoculated with specially selected yeast to emphasize the varietal aromas of the Saperavi grapes. The fermentation was conducted in a temperature-controlled environment at 22°C (71–72°F) for 5–6 days with periodic punch downs and pump overs. When the primary fermentation finished, the wine was pressed and transferred to stainless steel tanks where malolactic fermentation took place. The wine was then moved to 4th-use French oak barrels and aged for 9 months. Importer: Vinoveli
