Saperavi Wine
Saperavi Wines
Deep, bold and unmistakably Georgian, Saperavi is one of the world’s oldest and most distinctive red grape varieties. Originating from the Kakheti region of Georgia, Saperavi is renowned for producing rich, full-bodied wines with intense colour, vibrant acidity and exceptional ageing potential. Unlike most red grapes, Saperavi is a teinturier variety, meaning both the skin and flesh are naturally dark, creating deeply coloured wines with remarkable depth and structure.
Expect flavours of black cherry, blackberry, plum and dark forest fruits layered with notes of spice, liquorice, earth and subtle oak. Depending on the style, Saperavi can range from elegant and dry to smooth semi-sweet expressions, making it highly versatile for both wine enthusiasts and new explorers of Georgian wine.
Traditional Georgian Qvevri Saperavi wines offer added complexity with earthy tannins and savoury character, while modern styles highlight ripe fruit and velvety texture. Perfect alongside grilled meats, slow-cooked dishes, barbecue, aged cheeses and rich stews, Saperavi is a powerful food wine with a unique Old World personality.
Discover why Saperavi has become one of the most exciting emerging red wines in Australia and around the world — a true taste of Georgia’s 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition.
