Product description

Rustaveli Saperavi Qvevri 2022 is a rich and expressive red wine from Georgia’s Kakheti region, crafted from the country’s most famous grape, Saperavi. Fermented and aged in traditional qvevri clay vessels buried underground, it combines ancient winemaking methods with a modern sense of balance and refinement.

Aroma

The bouquet is deep and inviting, showing notes of blackberry, black cherry and plum, with layers of spice, dried herbs and a gentle earthy minerality.

Palate

On the palate, it’s bold yet elegant, with flavours of ripe dark fruit, pomegranate and warm spice. Firm tannins and refreshing acidity give it structure, while the long, dry finish carries hints of cocoa and subtle oak.

This is a soulful Georgian red — powerful, complex and beautifully balanced.

Food pairing

Perfect with:

• Grilled lamb, beef or venison

• Roasted aubergine and tomato-based dishes

• Mushroom stews or lentil casseroles

• Mature cheeses and spicy charcuterie

How to enjoy
