Kindzmarauli, Telavi Wine Cellar, 2012

An AOC wine which commands attention as soon as it is poured. An intense raspberry-red with a lilac halo, this wine was made from Saperavi grapes grown in the organic ‘Kudigori’ vineyards of the Kindzmarauli micro-zone. It is distinguished by its wild and forthright aromas combining ripe fruit aromas with the aromas of roasted pumpkin seeds and herbs (e.g. bay leaves). This is quite an interesting, intriguing and energetic wine with a long finish.
