Qvevri Red - Château Mukhrani

The elegant Qvevri Red from Château Mukhrani shimmers in the glass with a bright purple-red hue. After the first swirl, this red wine reveals a first-class balance, as it neither appears watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the sides of the glass. The first nose of the Qvevri Red shows nuances of blackberry. The fruity components of the bouquet are joined by notes from barrel aging, such as additional fruity-balsamic nuances.

On the palate, the Qvevri Red from Château Mukhrani starts off pleasantly dry, firm and aromatic. On the tongue, this well-balanced red wine is characterized by an exceedingly creamy texture. Thanks to its well-integrated acidity, the Qvevri Red caresses the palate with a soft mouthfeel, without sacrificing juicy liveliness. The finish of this well-ageing red wine from the Kartli wine-growing region ultimately impresses with a remarkable length.

Vinification of Château Mukhrani Qvevri Red

The starting point for the first-class and wonderfully balanced Qvevri Red cuvée from Château Mukhrani is Cabernet Sauvignon and Saperavi grapes. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in amphorae and small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months in French oak barrels.
