Production of Red Garnet Saperavi by Vazisubani Estate

In eastern Georgia, in the renowned wine region of Kakheti, Red Garnet Saperavi - Vazisubani Estate finds ideal conditions. The vineyards lie in a climate with warm summers and cool nights, which ensures slow, even ripening of the Saperavi grapes. The soils with a high clay content store warmth and moisture, allowing the vines to root deeply and produce concentrated grapes.

Hand harvesting forms the first quality filter. The grapes reach the winery carefully selected; only aromatically ripe fruit goes into the fermentation vessels. Fermentation on the skins in stainless steel tanks allows temperature-controlled vinification, preserving fruit, color and varietal-typical spice with precision. Saperavi is considered a color-intensive grape variety, which is why the wine attains its deep dark, radiant hue.

After fermentation, the wine is gently matured in stainless steel tanks. This approach preserves the clear fruit and emphasizes the terroir-driven character of the wine. No heavy wood aromas weigh upon the fruit; instead, vanilla and spicy notes are finely integrated and elegant. The acid structure remains lively, the tannins appear polished and ripe.

The style of the winemaker at Vazisubani Estate focuses on precision, clarity and expression of origin. Every production step from vineyard to bottle pursues the goal of making the distinct character of the Saperavi grape from Kakheti visible. The artistic bottle design completes the estate’s aspirations and underscores the premium character of this PDO wine.
