Kakhetian Royal, Kindzmarauli Wine Cellar, 2007

This purple wine was made from “Budeshuri-like” Saperavi grapes grown on the left bank of the Alazani Valley in the Kvareli micro-zone. It has a very pleasant bouquet with initial aromas of red berries and cornelian cherry jam, followed by hints of spices. This is quite a refined wine in terms of its appearance, bouquet and flavour. Long finish, and would go well with grilled salmon, roast turkey or lean ham.
