Dark, inky, almost black wine. Blueberry jam, plum, forest fruit, laurel and liquorice aromatics. Incredibly concentrated deep flavours, thik and tannic power red.

Drink on its own as a meditation wine or pare with rich, spicy, meaty dishes or old cheeses.

Organic agriculture, hand harvested, fermeted with native yeasts, low intervention, unfined, unfiltered, vegan. Fermented and aged in different qvevris, with wine moved by gravity force due to a multiterrace system in the wine cellar.

Sometimes high in alcohol (16,5% for the 2022 vintage) due to a rare yeast Saccharomyces Oviformis with alcohol tolerance of between 16% and 21%. In its natural form, this yeast lives in organic vineyards of a handful of winemaking regions around the world including Papari Valley's vineyard of 9,3 hectares. 

This wine was made from the Saperavi grape variety in multi-terrace system of Terracotta Qvevris. Naturally fermented by indigenous yeast with little intervention. The terraces allow us to move wine with gravity. This particular wine has passed through three terraces of qvevris and was finally aged in the Qvevri number 22.
