Casreli Saperavi 2019

Casreli Saperavi is a remarkable natural wine from Georgia, made from the iconic Saperavi grape. This wine embodies the rich traditions and craftsmanship of Georgian winemakers, with Casreli Wines being one of the producers that honor this centuries-old art. Originating from Kakheti, a region renowned for its long winemaking history and excellent climate, the Saperavi grape thrives in ideal conditions. What makes this grape unique is that both its skin and flesh are deeply red—a rarity in the wine world. Fermentation takes place in qvevri, traditional clay vessels that have been used in Georgia for thousands of years. This process gives the wine its characteristic depth and structure. The wine then matures in stainless steel tanks, preserving its freshness and vibrant acidity while refining the balance of flavors. Despite the powerful nature of the Saperavi grape, Casreli Saperavi remains accessible and smooth to drink. With an alcohol content of 14%, this wine offers a full, rounded taste without being overpowering. Enjoy the authentic flavors of Georgia and experience the unique expression of the Saperavi grape with Casreli Saperavi!

Flavor character Casreli Saperavi

The Casreli Saperavi is a wine with a deep, dark red color, immediately revealing its power and intensity. At the first sip, its lively freshness stands out, thanks to the present acidity that gives the wine an elegant structure. The taste is rich and fruity, with ripe notes of blackcurrants and dark red cherries, complemented by subtle spicy accents such as bay leaf and a hint of leather. Despite its full body, the wine remains beautifully balanced and retains a pleasant drinkability, making it an excellent companion for various dishes. Thanks to its robust character and refreshing acidity, the Casreli Saperavi pairs excellently with grilled meats, such as lamb chops or a juicy steak. Hearty stews and roasted vegetables also complement the wine’s flavor profile beautifully. Additionally, it pairs particularly well with spiced dishes from, for example, Georgian or Middle Eastern cuisine. The powerful aromas harmonize with the spices in the food, while the fresh acidity ensures a refined balance. To fully enjoy its complex flavors, it is recommended to serve this wine at 18°C. This allows both the fruity notes and the structure to come into their own, without the alcohol becoming too dominant. The Casreli Saperavi is not only a delight to drink on its own but also an excellent choice to accompany an elaborate meal.

Description

Winery

Long ago, in the east of Georgia, where the sun sets over the hills of Kakheti and the vineyards bask in a golden glow, a remarkable adventure began. Five young doctors, once brought together by their medical studies in Tbilisi, dreamed of doing more than just healing. Their passion for wine, deeply rooted in Georgian tradition, led them down a new path. With determination, they decided to start their own vineyard. In 2014, they took their first steps, and before long, in fertile soil full of promise, they planted their first vines. Patience and dedication brought their dream to life. Nature rewarded them, and soon they were able to reap the fruits of their labor. Their efforts did not go unnoticed. In 2016, when their wines participated for the first time in the prestigious International Qvevri Wine Competition, they were awarded both gold and silver. This recognition was not only a triumph for their wines but also a confirmation of their belief: that true quality comes from passion, knowledge, and respect for tradition.
