Saperavi is Georgia’s flagship red grape variety, renowned for its deep color and robust character. It is a teinturier grape: its skin and flesh are pigmented, resulting in intensely colored wines. Originating from the Kakheti region in eastern Georgia, Saperavi thrives in the country's diverse climates and soils.​Wines produced from Saperavi are typically full-bodied with high acidity and tannins, making them suitable for aging. Their flavour profile is characterised by dark fruits like blackberry and plum, complemented by spice notes.
