This is Dakishvili Saperavi Dessert Wine (2022) — a rare and exquisite dessert wine from Kakheti, combining the strength of the Georgian Saperavi grape with the sophistication of classic fortified wines. Here is its brief and vivid portrait:
Color: Rich and dense cherry with festive pomegranate reflections. The wine looks very full-bodied and noble in the glass.
Aroma: Complex and enveloping. It prominently features notes of ripe red fruits, cherry liqueur, and forest berries, which elegantly intertwine with warm hints of walnut and a light smokiness.
Taste: Full-bodied, rich, and perfectly balanced. Natural sweetness meets velvety tannins here, leaving a long, warming aftertaste with nuances of dark chocolate.
Technology: This wine is the result of the mastery of the Dakishvili dynasty. It undergoes fermentation in traditional clay vessels called qvevri, and then is aged in oak barrels, which gives it a special depth and softness.
This wine will be an ideal finale to a dinner. It pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, aged blue cheeses, walnuts in honey, or dried fruits.
It is recommended to serve slightly chilled at 14–16 °C.
