It is a Teinturier grape, meaning both the skin and the pulp are pigmented. This results in Saperavi wines having a signature deep, dark color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduction in Stainless Steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this 2024 Saperavi, the grapes were harvested by hand, transported in small wooden crates, and manually sorted before pressing. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks, remaining on the skins for two weeks. 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 1.5 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.
