Koba Kvatchrelishvili produces wines from his 3 hectares of sustainably grown and organically farmed vineyards. Koba has a background in modern winemaking, but he is a die hard fanatic for traditional natural Georgian qvevri wine; a tradition that he learned from his grandfather and now passes on to his sons and grandsons. Naotari is the culmination of a life dream to cultivate is own family vineyard and have enough to bottle and share with the world. The 2018 Saperavi is a lean and angular take on Saperavi. Koba, uses only naturally occurring sulfites and does not filter his wine. Naotari represents the latest in authentic Georgian qvevri amber wines to discover in the US.

Notes of forest berry fruits, slight jolly rancher blackberry are followed by a a lean and angular approach. Good tannin softening with age. This wine is alive in the best sense
