Notes | |||
"A naturally semi-sweet red wine made, like many of the other Dozortsev estate-bottled wines, from the Saperavi grape variety. Akhasheni is what you find in a typical Georgian home. Produced since 1958, Akhasheni has been awarded six gold and five silver medals at international wine exhibitions. This 100%-Saperavi wine bears the Akhasheni appellation of the Gurdzhanni district of Kakheti, Georgia. Showing a dark pomegranate color, the wine bears a pleasant fruitiness and light spice on the nose. Harmonious velvety taste with slight chocolate flavor. Complements red meat, venison, and lamb dishes." —winemaker |
