Madlieri Saperavi-Mtsvane 2020 Georgia

This blend of red saperavi and white mtsvane has an inky colour, lots of concentrated hedgerow fruits and a bright, balanced palate with a light weave of tannin. Destemmed and made with shorter qvevri macerations over five to six months, this is a (relatively) friendly introduction to Georgia's intense red wines and would go nicely with a rich cassoulet. Made by the winemaking team at Pheasant's Tears.
