Gvantsas Wine Otskanuri Sapere 2019 750ml

A Vineyard Selection Of Otskhanuri Sapere (Oh-Sah-Kh-Ah-Noo-Ree Sah-Pear-Eh) Made By The Young Woman Winemaker Gvantsa Abuladze, Sister Of Baia Abuladze. This Rare And Difficult To Say Variety Is Sourced From Their Estate In The Village Of Obcha. All Red Varietals Grown In Imereti Are Higher Acid, Lower Sugar Grapes Due To The Humidity Of The Region. Otskhanuri Sapere Is Especially Known For Its Ridiculously Dark Color Hence The Origin Of Its Name Means “Dye”. The Grape Is Notoriously Hard To Work With Since It Is Difficult To Get The Necessary Sugar Levels, But Boy Is This Wine A Gem. All The Fruit Is Estate Grown, Hand Picked And Hand Sorted. After Destemming The Wine Is Pressed And Put Into Qvevri With Skins And Fermentation Starts Spontaneously. Once Fermentation Is Completed The Skins Are Removed And The Wine Is Aged In Qvevri.
