Sourced from the 'Cradle of Wine' in Georgia's Kakheti Valley, Vachnadziani Classical Saperavi is a ripe red wine leading with aromas of wild berry, winter spice and vanilla. On the palate it's bursting with plums over hints of smoke and leathery tannins.

The grapes were hand-harvested from a moderately humid vineyard at 320m above sea level in the Kakheti Valley.
