About Wine
The 2018 Orgo Saperavi represents the power of Saperavi balanced with finesse. This wine is made from 80 year old vines. The wine is fermented and aged in Qvevri (Large clay jars). Temuri Dakishvili sources the grapes from Kurdgelauri and Tsinandali villages in the Telavi district, on the right bank of the Alazani River. 2018 is Orgo's seventh vintage and it was a great growing year. It's style is robust, yet smooth with more refined tannin structure. Approximately 10,000 bottles of the 2018 Saperavi were produce. It is a one of a kind old vine Saperavi.

Tasting Notes
From Wine Enthusiast "Aromas of black currant and cherry set the stage for flavors of cassis, leather, juniper berry and dark chocolate. There is a nice balance of fruit and deeper savory notes, and velvety tannins make way for a splash of cherry on the lingering finish. - MD"
