🌍 About Saperavi & Kindzmarauli PDO

Saperavi is a teinturier grape (red skin and red flesh), native to Georgia, known for its deep color, high acidity, and aging potential. It thrives in the Kakheti region, especially in Kindzmarauli PDO, where the microclimate along the Alazani River and foothills of the Caucasus Mountains provides perfect conditions for naturally sweet wines.

The Kindzmarauli zone is renowned for producing semi-sweet reds with exceptional structure and balance. These wines are a signature of Georgian hospitality, often enjoyed during celebrations and family feasts.
