It is a Teinturier grape, meaning both the skin and the pulp are pigmented. Consequently, Saperavi wines often possess a deep, near-black ruby color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduction in Stainless Steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for this natural Saperavi were fermented in stainless steel tanks, remaining on the skins for approximately one month. As with all our wines, fermentation was triggered by indigenous yeasts found naturally on the grapes (spontaneous fermentation). Before bottling, the wine was allowed to mature in stainless steel tanks for two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProducer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInavarde Wines is an owner-managed winery in Eniseli, a village in the Kakheti region of Eastern Georgia.
