Teliani Valley Unfiltered Saperavi

Producer Information

Teliani is an old winery dating back to the 1800s and they have survived the various incursions into Georgia from their northern neighbours including the Soviet invasion of the 1920s. They still produce a lot of wine for the Russian market – they would be stupid not to – but they are astute enough to not want this to be the sum of what they do, and self-aware enough to imagine what could be possible if they develop the right philosophy for their business. They have a team of innovative young winemakers who are given the time, equipment, fruit and support they need to create exciting things, and we think some of that is evident in the selection we have here.

Production

Wine is made from Georgias's indigenous grape variety – Saperavi, which is hand harvested from the Kakheti Region (East Georgia).

The wine is fermented in stainless steel to maintain freshness and varietal character, while gentle oak aging softens and charms. The wine undergoes selected yeast fermentation. Only 25,000 bottles were produced.

Tasting Notes

Densely coloured and packed with flavour!

This oak-aged unfiltered version is from specially selected grapes from the vineyards of Tsinandali – the result has more tannin and texture than the entry version, backed up with rich, pure blackberry and plum aromas, as well as smoky chocolate notes.

Pairs wonderfully with roast meats and hard cheeses such as Gouda.
