Chelti Winery, established by George Mirianashvili with five decades of family winemaking tradition, crafts this 2021 Saperavi. The dry red wine from Kakheti, Georgia, uses 100% Saperavi with 13% alcohol content. Deep cherry tones reveal rich blackberry, cherry, and black plum notes beautifully. The Mirianashvili family built one of Shilda village's largest wine cellars in Georgia's historic winemaking region. Chelti wines enjoy over 50 international gold medals and royal pedigree.

Nose: The nose opens with deep cherry aromas that feel rich and inviting immediately. Blackberry, cherry, and black plum notes emerge, building complexity and depth. Subtle mineral and spice notes add sophistication and structure.

Palate: The palate delivers rich cherry and plum flavors with balanced structure throughout. Blackberry notes add depth and intensity beautifully. The wine maintains freshness despite its richness.

Finish: The finish remains persistent with lingering cherry and plum notes that echo. Subtle spice and mineral character persist, reminding you of the wine's structure. The overall experience showcases Georgia's Saperavi tradition.

Serve this structured Saperavi with grilled lamb and herbs to highlight its cherry and plum character beautifully. Braised beef with dark fruit sauce complement the wine's rich character perfectly. Aged cheese brings out the wine's mineral character and structured tannins.
