Shabo Saperavi-Merlot Qvevri

The Qvevri is a purely Georgian phenomenon. A large earthenware jar in which the wine is fermented. The Ukrainian Shabo had these jars brought over the Black Sea and built a cellar with them. This wine was made from Merlot and Saperavi grapes.

Dark red. Herbs and cherry fruit on the nose. Nice and full in the mouth. Good acids. Juicy blackberries and black cherries. Mouth-filling wine. The tannin is modest and that makes it easy to digest.
