Red dry
The wine is made from ‘Saperavi Budeshuri’ grapes, a clone of the classic ‘Saperavi’ variety. The word Budeshuri in Georgian means “elegant, graceful,” and this definition perfectly reflects the style of this grape. The bunches have a regular conical shape, while the berries themselves are oval. This clone ripens approximately two weeks earlier than traditional ‘Saperavi’, and its juice is even darker in color with a higher concentration of anthocyanins. Wines made from ‘Saperavi Budeshuri’ are typically rounder, softer on the palate, and more refined, while still retaining their characteristic complexity.
The resulting wine is rich and deeply colored, with aromas of dark plums, black pepper, floral notes, and hints of aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is juicy and smooth, medium-bodied, with friendly acidity and fine, gentle tannins. The finish remains highly balanced and elegant, leaving a harmonious and long-lasting impression.
The grapes are carefully selected from vineyards located on the left bank of the Alazani River. The vines, planted in 2002, grow in light calcareous sandy soils, which contribute to the wine’s elegance and balance. The wine is produced using traditional methods, being aged in qvevri (underground terracotta amphorae) for 3–5 months, following ancient regional winemaking practices.
Serve at 14–16 °C. Excellent with red meat stews or steaks and hard cheeses.
The history of Chotiashvili family begins in the beginning of the 20th century. Since then, with great love for vines and gapres, family traditions are being developed and followed. Today, the responsibility of the winemaker and technologist rests on the shoulders of the younger brother – Kakha. He enriched hereditary information on winemaking with modern knowledge and his own practical achievements. High professionalism, love for work and great responsibility for the results of this work made it possible for Marani Chotiashvili not only to present their wines at prestigious international exhibitions, but also to earn high marks and awards.
