Tbilvino Tbilisi 2016, Kakheti
Georgia$14.95
Red dry wine crafted from indigenous Saperavi with addition of Rkatsiteli grapes grown in Kakheti region, eastern Georgia.
Unlike famous Alazani wine (that has similar composition), this Kakheti wine is made in a dry process.
A light garnet in colour wine offers the aromas of pomegranate, forest fruits and spices. It has firm acidity along with powdery, mouth-filling tannins.
Serve at 16°C, great companion to beef and poultry dishes with sour dressings.
