#22 Saperavi '18

Solomnishvili Winery focuses on indigenous grape varieties and traditional methods such as fermenting and ageing wines in qvevri (large clay vessels buried underground), a technique that has been used in Georgian winemaking for millenia. Winemaker Giorgi Solomnishvili is known for his dedication to the Saperavi grape, handpicking and producing in small batches by traditional methods, then ageing in oak. Why: Georgia’s leading grape in diligent hands.
