Gvantsa's Sapere - Baia's Wine
This wine made by young winemaker Gvantsa Abuladze using one of the 525 indigenous Georgian grape varieties found on Baia’s Wine estate in the village of Obcha. All red varietals grown in Imereti are high in acidity and lower in sugar due to the humidity of the region. Otskhanuri Sapere is especially known for its inky dark colour. The grapes are handpicked, and hand sorted. After de-stemming the wine is pressed and put into qvevri with skins where fermentation starts spontaneously. Once fermentation is completed the skins are removed and the wine is aged in qvevri.
Tasting Notes
This intense dark coloured wine has notes of pomegranate and sour cherry with cool crispness, medium-plus bodied and a super dry firm fresh tannin finish. Decanting is recommended.
Food Pairing
Amazing wines made with love, passion and history. A tasteful and great experience. Georgian wines are some of the best and need more recognition because they are good and it's deserved.
Tried Georgian white wine from the relatively unknown "Baia's Wine".And what a blessing it was. The experience I encountered was joyful and second to none. Such a superb combination of palette, aroma and fragrance. It could easily compete with it's best French and Italian counterparts.No wonder, es popular legends had it, Georgian Wines were singled out by the almighty gods themselves. now it is a time for Georgian Wineries to conquer the world. In Vino Veritas.
Super educational evening @tasteofgeorgia.co.uk. So many new varieties to learn about amongst dry wine, sweet wine, Qvervi, oak - and over 8000 years of winemaking experience - brilliant!
