Umano Saperavi Qvevri Wine 750 ML

This is Saperavi made in qvevri, the buried clay vessels Georgia has fermented in for millennia: grapes go in with their skins and often their stems, the vessel is sealed under the earth, and the wine comes out with a texture no steel tank produces. The grape itself has red flesh as well as red skin, so the pour is close to black. The nose gives black cherry, dried fig and a little iron. The palate is dry and structured, with plum, pomegranate and dusty tannin, finishing earthy and long. Decant it, serve at cellar temperature, and pair with lamb, grilled beef, or aged sheep's cheese.
