Rouge Demi-doux Teliani Valley 2024

Tasting Notes

Made from the saperavi variety and sourced from the Kakheti region of eastern Georgia, this is described as a medium sweet red wine. There's certainly a little sweetness here, but it mainly comes across as fruity, with a flavour profile that highlights red and dark fruit and berries. The acidity is up to the task, the tannins are easy-going, and you can drink this on its own or with rich dishes such as many meats prepared with barbecue sauce. Tasted February 2025. (Rod Phillips)
