Georgian Wines from The Fareham Wine Cellar
60Georgia - The Cradle of Wine
Georgia is one of the oldest wine producing regions of Europe, sometimes known as the cradle of wine, and wine from the Kindzmarauli region was very popular and well-known in the former Soviet Union for its high quality, naturally sweet style, dark-red colour and full flavours.

GWS, the leading wine producer in Georgia, has sought out high quality small vineyards in the region to produce this wine. This Semi-Sweet red wine is made from 100% Saperavi (which literally means "paint dye" in Georgian) grapes cultivated on the slopes of the Caucasian mountains in the Quareli district of Kakheti. The wine is quite purple in colour. On the nose there are aromas of ripe berry fruits and notes of blackberry and blackcurrant. The palate is rich, full and soft with good fruit flavours following on from the nose. The tannins are quite supple and are well-balanced by sweetness and good acidity on the lingering, clean finish. Try this wine as an aperitif, an alternative for people who do not like dry red wine or as a dessert wine with chocolate puddings, berries or with hard cheeses such as a mature Gouda. Serve slightly chilled.

Hello Anna, I think it is the best of the three semi-sweet red wines from Georgia that we sell, the others are the Old Tbilisi Alazani and the Tamada Pirosmani. The Kindzmarauli is considered to be the best area of these three as well. I find these wines are too sweet for drinking with a meal, but that is personal taste. Alot of my customers for it are people who don't like dry red wine and just use it as a "normal" red wine. I would recommend it, slightly chilled as an aperitif and it goes really well with mature, nutty, hard cheeses like Gouda or Parmesan. The quality of all the GWS is very good although the white wines are a little austere.
