Kakhuri Gvinis Marani Kindzmarauli Ceramic Orshimo (75cl, 12%)

Kakhuri Gvinis Marani Kindzmarauli Ceramic Orshimo is a Georgian semi-sweet red wine made from 100% Saperavi grapes, bottled at approximately 12% ABV in a 750ml ceramic vessel. It is produced from Saperavi grapes grown in the Kindzmarauli micro-zone of Kakheti, using the traditional Georgian qvevri method, with large clay vessels buried underground for fermentation and ageing. The Kindzmarauli appellation's microclimate naturally halts fermentation, preserving residual sugar without artificial sweetening. The ceramic bottle references the connection between Georgian winemaking and clay. The nose opens with ripe dark cherry and blackberry, progressing into prune, dried plum and subtle earthiness. The palate is plush and fruit-forward, with juicy blackberry, red cherry, natural residual sugar, firm Saperavi tannins, ripe plum and dark berry notes. The finish is medium in length, with a soft, velvety close and lingering red ripe berries.
