ANNA

Vintage

2023

Style

Red Semi-sweet

Background

Another creation inspired by the rich history of the Chavchavadze family. Named after the great philanthropist and the hostess of Tsinandali Estate, Anna Bagrationi-Chavchavadze. The wine represents a sublime blend of two aboriginal Georgian red grape varieties. 

 
Terroir

Saperavi and Aleksandrouli grapes are cultivated in distinct plots across Tsinandali’s south-east-facing vineyards, nestled 600-700 meters above sea level. Surrounded by oak forest, these slopes feature well-drained clay-limestone soils that perfectly express the character of each variety within the Tsinandali PDO.

Viticulture

Our philosophy begins in the vineyard, where we believe exceptional wine is born in harmony between vine and terroir. Every detail matters - from the earthworms enriching the soil to the thoughtful care behind each vineyard practice. Through cover cropping and sustainable methods such as pest mating disruption, we nurture a balanced ecosystem where nature and the vine thrive together.

Varieties

Saperavi, Aleksandrouli

Vinification

For the semi-sweet Anna, only fully ripe grapes with naturally high sugar content were selected. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at 23°C. After two weeks, as the residual sugar reached the desired level, fermentation naturally slowed. The wine was then separated from the pomace and cooled to stop the process, resulting in a beautifully balanced semi-sweet wine.

Alcohol

14.5 %

Tasting Note and Pairing

Pronounced aromas of red fruits lead to a fruit-forward, velvety palate, gracefully supported by balanced tannins. The wine shows a harmonious interplay of acidity and sweetness, creating a soft, inviting finish. A delightful companion to light desserts.
