Tbilvino, Saperavi 2022

Tbilvino was established nearly sixty years ago, and over this period they have become one of Georgia’s leading producers. Almost dormant at the end of the Soviet era, the winery was acquired by the enterprising Margvelashvili brothers, who set about restoring the facilities, and moving the focus from volume to quality. Their Saperavi 2022 is definitely on the bigger, bolder end of the spectrum of the wines this fabulous grape can produce. Notes of bramble, blackberry, blackcurrant and baking spice moves to a soft, plummy palate with further fruity notes on the long finish. A cracking wintery red.
