Kindzmarauli is the calling card of Georgian winemaking, a naturally semi-sweet red made from 100% Saperavi grapes grown in the Kindzmarauli micro-zone of Kakheti. The sweetness is not added, it comes from stopping fermentation while residual grape sugar remains, a tradition Georgians have practiced for centuries. This is the magnum, built for tables that need more than one bottle to go around.

Mood: plush, dark-fruit, generous.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby, aromas of ripe black cherry and blackberry jam with a faint floral lift. The palate is round and plush, black-fruit compote, a whisper of dark chocolate, and a soft touch of Saperavi spice. The finish is clean and fruit-driven, gentle sweetness carrying long.

Food Pairing

A natural with sweet noodle kugel, brisket glazed with plum or apricot, dark-chocolate desserts, and aged cheeses. Also serves as a lush kiddush pour for those who prefer something less syrupy than traditional Concord sweet reds.
