Vinification of the Mukuzani French Oak from Winery Chateau Nekresi

The balanced Mukuzani French Oak from Georgia is a varietal wine made from the Saperavi grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Kakheti. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into soils of volcanic rock and black earth. After being harvested by hand, the grapes quickly make their way to the press house, where they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Mukuzani French Oak can continue to harmonize for several months on the fine lees.
