Why You'll Love It
Saperavi at its most approachable: dark, juicy black fruit, warm spice and surprisingly supple tannins. A little traditional qvevri fermentation adds character without making the wine difficult. A wonderful match for grilled beef or rich vegetable stews.
About The Producer
Bedoba, meaning 'day of luck', brings Georgia's ancient winemaking culture into a modern, approachable style. Winemakers Nugzar Ksovreli and Thierry Fontannaz work with native varieties in Kakheti, drawing on vineyards around Kvareli and Kindzmarauli beneath the Caucasus Mountains. The name and Saint Nino imagery refer to the area's long history of winemaking and its links to the Konchosvili family, whose cellars date back to 1737. Qvevri clay vessels sit alongside stainless steel and careful modern handling, giving the wines both distinctive character and excellent balance.
Winemaking Information
The 2023 Saperavi comes from vineyards around Kvareli and Kindzmarauli in Kakheti, with vines averaging 35 years of age. Most fruit fermented for about six weeks in temperature-controlled stainless steel, with 7% fermented as whole bunches in qvevri. The final blend was matured 50% in steel, 20% in large wooden vats, 20% in used American oak and 10% in qvevri, then rested another six months in bottle. The published residual sugar is 7.9 g/L with 6.9 g/L acidity, consistent with a dry classification under acidity-adjusted wine labelling rules; ABV is 13.5%.
