Dakishvili Family Selection Cuvee Red 2020

The Dakishvili Family Selection Cuvee Red is a premium wine from Georgia that reflects the rich winemaking heritage of the Kakheti region. Located on the eastern bank of the Alazani River, Kakheti is famous for its ideal conditions for both white and red wine production. The region has an ancient winemaking tradition and is known for its unique production methods, such as the use of Kvevri: traditional underground clay vessels for fermentation and aging. The Cuvee Red is a harmonious blend of the indigenous Saperavi grape and the world-renowned Cabernet Sauvignon. Saperavi imparts deep color, rich flavors, and firm tannins, while the Cabernet Sauvignon adds an extra layer of complexity, structure, and subtle spiciness. This wine is authentically produced in Kvevri, which contributes to its unique texture and earthy nuances typical of Georgian wine culture. After fermentation, the Cuvee Red matures for 12 months in oak barrels, further enriching its flavor and enhancing the depth of its aroma. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this wine offers a beautiful balance of power and approachability, making it an excellent match for a variety of dishes without being overwhelming.

The Dakishvili Family Selection Cuvee Red is a true representation of Georgian winemaking tradition, enriched with a modern approach by Giorgi Dakishvili, a master winemaker who combines traditional techniques with innovation. Taste the history and craftsmanship of Georgia in every sip.

Taste character Dakishvili Family Selection Cuvee Red

This wine unveils itself with a beautiful ruby red color that immediately invites you to take a sip. The aroma is rich and complex, with ripe notes of cherries and blackberries standing out right away. These fruity scents are beautifully intertwined with subtle hints of chocolate and a touch of roasted coffee beans, giving the wine a distinctive character. Upon tasting, the full, elegant flavor is evident, with the tannins nicely integrated for a young wine, providing a pleasant texture. The fruity profile of cherries and blackberries remains prominent but is complemented by a refined finish of cocoa and roasted coffee, giving the wine a smooth and long-lasting aftertaste.

The wine is an excellent choice for dishes with grilled meats or game, especially when these dishes are richly accompanied by a flavorful sauce. The deep, full flavors of the wine perfectly complement the savory tastes of the meat, with the contrast to the rich sauce creating a harmonious combination. Additionally, the wine pairs well with hard cheeses, such as Parmesan or goat cheese, whose salty or tangy flavors beautifully match the wine. To experience the full potential of this wine, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature between 16-18°C. At this temperature, the complexity of the aromas is best revealed, and the rich notes of ripe fruit, chocolate, and coffee are optimally highlighted, providing an exceptionally enjoyable drinking experience.
