I've not really had much #Saperavi, but it seems to be gaining ground bit by bit. This one sounds and looks awesome.
Anthologist 'THE PLOT TWISTS' 2024 #clarevalley #saperavi- A native #Georgian variety. Inky purple, with a complex bouquet of liquorice & roasted beetroot. Superb big, rich mouthful showing bright plums, red berries, a hint of chocolate & a splash of vanillin oak on the enticing palate.
A CLASS ACT
Anthologist 2023 #clarevalley "THE UNEXPECTED TURN" #saperavi/ #shiraz- a very rare but outstanding blend! Interesting bouquet of roast beetroot & earthiness. Gorgeous, big mouthful of black berries, vanillin oak & a splash of red berries on the superbly balanced ubber tasty palate.
EXCITING!
Great to see four (!!) Georgian wines at Jacques, a mainstream German retailer, yesterday.
The #Saperavi bottle is single best selling bottle of red in the store, the salesman said. He laughed & confirmed it was Georgians who bought it as gift. And why not? It brings Georgian #wine to more ppl.
Unfiltered, moreish #Saperavi from #Georgia ’s Teliani Valley Winery 97 that paints everything it touches (tongue included!). Opaque, dark ruby-purple, bursting w/ intense ripe black fruits & baking spice, wood & tobacco hints. Juicy, acidic freshness ends w/ firm but beautifully integrated tannin.
A dark beauty from Georgia 🇬🇪🍷
The M&S Found Saperavi from Kakheti — the cradle of winemaking — is rich, smoky and hauntingly inky. A perfect Halloween pour for curious palates. 🍂✨

Pick up the latest @glugmag for two of my articles - one about how #wine in #Moldova has largely overcome the legacies of #Soviet times; the other on the country's distinct interpretations of #Saperavi (a grape typically associated with #Georgia).
At the Blackwood Winemakers & Brewers Club (BWBC) tasting of #organic Riverland Wine from Bassham Wines- a very international collection, incl the superb #portuguesewine white #arinto & the utterly brilliant big, bold #georgianwine #Saperavi- AN OUTSTANDING COLLECTION OF #emergingvarieties wines.
Heading off to the Blackwood Winemakers & Brewers Club (BWBC) this afternoon for a tasting of Riverland Wine from Bassham Wines
