Background

A tribute to Prince Constantine Chavchavadze, this Saperavi wine reveals the depth, richness, and elegance that define a full-bodied classic.

Terroir

Saperavi 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 100%

Vinification

Exceptional Saperavi grapes were fermented with their skins in stainless steel tanks for two weeks at 25 °C. This careful process resulted in a remarkable extract, deep colour, and a full, generous body - a true expression of Saperavi’s intensity and depth.

Tasting Note and Pairing

Pronounced black and red berry aromas lead into a spicy, full-bodied palate with harmonious acidity and a prolonged finish. Pairs beautifully with steak, barbecue, protein-rich dishes, and aged cheeses.
