Khareba, Saperavi, Kakheti, Georgia, 2013

Made from the native Georgian grape Saperavi by a modern producer in the premier region for the variety. It is slightly rustic in style, with intense blackberry, black cherry, meaty, smoky and liquorice characters. Refreshing acidity lifts the chewy, savoury texture, and firm yet dry tannins linger on the finish.
