Telavi Old Telavi Khvanchkara Velvet Edition (75cl, 11.5%)

A naturally semi-sweet Georgian red wine from Khvanchkara in Racha-Lechkhumi, produced by Telavi Wine Cellar. It is made from Aleksandrouli and Mujuretuli grown near Ambrolauri, with natural semi-sweetness achieved through controlled fermentation that preserves residual grape sugars. The wine is dark ruby and velvety in texture. The nose shows smoky wild strawberry, ripe pomegranate and mixed berries with dried-fruit sweetness. The palate is soft and fruit-forward, with pomegranate, dried fruit, gentle tannins, caramel and almond. The finish is medium, smooth and gently sweet, with wild berry and toasted almond.
