Saperavi Budeshuri - 2018 - John Okruashvili
Okro's Wines

100% Budeshuri Saperavi (a very close cousin of Saperavi) from vines that have never been touched by chemicals, planted around the village of Tibaani at 400 meters altitude, in the famous wine region of Kakheti, in eastern Georgia. Vinification: Grapes in whole bunches are placed in qvevris – large Georgian amphorae buried up to their necks in the winery – followed by two weeks of maceration, and 22 months of ageing in qvevri. Bottled on the 9th of July 2020, without filtration or fining, and zero sulphur.
