Naperebi

$0.00

Naperebi — Shilda, Kakheti, Georgia, at the base of the Nekresi monastery mountains in the Kindzmarauli micro-zone. The Gvinadze family's been making wine here since 1898, now four generations deep, which is the kind of lineage that genuinely means something in Georgian winemaking rather than just sounding good on a label.

Saperavi's the headline grape, and it shows exactly why this variety's having such a global moment — deep violet colour, concentrated, silky, full-bodied, long lingering finish. They do a qvevri version too, fermented the ancient way in buried clay vessels, which gives it that extra layer of earthy, tannic grip you just don't get any other way. A Saperavi Oak bottling sits alongside it for those wanting a touch more polish and structure.

Whites get proper attention too — a skin-contact Rkatsiteli, plus a Kisi-Rkatsiteli blend, both landing in that gorgeous amber register Georgia does better than anywhere else on earth. Mountain vineyard, monastery backdrop, one family doing this the same honest way for well over a century.

Georgia's 8,000-year wine story, still quietly being poured, one qvevri at a time.
