2022 Nasrashvili Family Winery Wild Horses Qvevri Tavkveri

The 2022 Nasrashvili Family Winery “Wild Horses” Qvevri Tavkveri is a bold Georgian red made in the ancient, skin‑contact qvevri tradition. Sourced from Tavkveri grapes harvested in Kakheti, the wine is fermented with extended maceration in buried clay amphorae (qvevri) to extract its full structure and character. According to descriptions from importers, the warmer Kakheti climate and long skin contact lend intensity, pronounced tannins, and a full‑bodied profile. The hands‑on winemaking—minimal intervention, native yeasts, and traditional vessels—ensures that the terroir and the varietal speak loudly. Wild Horses lives up to its name: a wild, expressive wine that reflects Georgia's deep vinous roots.

Nose:
Aromatic lift of red cherry, pomegranate, and rose petals, woven with subtle spice and an earthy, wild note.

Palate:
Full and juicy, with concentrated red-berry flavors and structured tannins. The skin contact and noble clay vessel impart a fine grip and slight dryness without edging harshness.

Finish:
Lingering and generous: the red fruit tones persist, with a touch of spice, tannic echo, and a mineral whisper. The finish underscores the wine’s strength and invites another sip.

Grilled or herb‑crusted lamb — The wine’s fruit and tannin backbone stand up elegantly to rich lamb.

Stews with mushrooms or root vegetables — Earthy flavors harmonize with the wine’s rustic, layered profile.

Hard aged cheeses — Aged Gruyère, Comté, or similar styles complement the wine’s grip and depth.

Roast game or poultry — Especially with aromatic herbs and reduction sauces, where the wine’s bold character enhances savory complexity.
