Teliani Glekhuri Kisiskhevi Saperavi

Teliani Glekhuri Kisiskhevi Saperavi is a distinguished red wine crafted from the indigenous Saperavi grape in the Kisiskhevi microzone of Kakheti, Georgia. This wine is notable for its traditional fermentation in Qvevri—large, buried clay amphorae—which imparts unique texture and complexity. The Saperavi grape itself is celebrated for being a teinturier, meaning it has red flesh as well as red skin, resulting in deeply colored, intensely flavored wines. This expression typically showcases a robust profile with dark fruit notes of blackberry and plum, often accompanied by hints of spice, tobacco, and earthy undertones derived from the Qvevri aging. It possesses high tannins and a vibrant acidity, promising excellent structure and aging potential. It is an authentic representation of Georgia's ancient winemaking heritage, perfect for pairing with rich, savory meats and traditional Georgian cuisine.
