Saperavi Qvevri Aged in Oak2020
The best of both worlds — Saperavi grapes fermented in traditional qvevri for 6 months, then matured in oak barrels for another 12 months. This dual-aging process creates a wine with the earthy character of qvevri and the polished elegance of oak. A wine with great aging potential.
