Anapea Village Kvareli Side Margo Red Dry Wine 750ml

This wine is the product of one of Khatia's many experiments. The wine begins with the early harvest of Mtsvane at 22°Bx. Grapes are crushed and start the fermentation on the skins. As the season continues, fully ripe Saperavi is harvested at 25°Bx. At this point, the juice of Mtsvane is removed from the Qvevri, leaving the must. Khatia then directly presses Saperavi juice into the qvevri. The fermentation on the skins lasts for 6-7 days after which the juice is removed from the skins and continues fermenting. The wine is then transferred to the aging qvevri where it rests for 6 months. This ingenious method results in a red wine with the juiciness of a white.
