Sale price: $19.50

Popular, affordable, semi-sweet red wine. Light to medium body, easy-to-drink wine that is not too sweet. Taste profile is fruity, ruby-red featuring notes of red fruit, sweet plum, raspberry jam, and some spice or cocoa.

Kindzmarauli is a style of winemaking established in the Kindzmarauli PDO of the Georgia Kakheti region. The grape is Saperavi that is generally used to make bold, dry wines. However, for Kindzmarauli, the fermentation is stopped (by chilling) early to retain a higher volume of sugar (45 g/L in this case) giving the wine a "semi-sweet" character.

This is an excellent dessert, casual, summer evening wine. Also, great for drinking a red wine on hot days.

Serve chilled with fruits, chocolate, desserts and blue cheese.

14-15°C (57-59°F)

Winemaker Notes

Under watchful management of one of Georgia’s premier wine makers using
state of the art facilities, harvested by hand in early morning and placed in
stainless steel tanks for fermentation remaining in skin contact for 20 days
resulting in a deep ruby color, young tannins in balance with velvety and long
lasting finish.
