Vinification of the Saperavi Superiore from Château Mukhrani

The elegant Saperavi Superiore from Georgia is a single varietal wine, made from the Saperavi grape variety. In Kartlia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of clay, granite and gravel. Due to the moderating influence of the nearbyRiver, the grapes ripen more slowly and develop more aromatic partiality. The berries for this red wine from Georgia, when perfectly ripe, are harvested exclusively by hand. After the harvest, the grapes reach the press house by the fastest route. Here they are selected and carefully ground. Then fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures. After the end of fermentation, the Saperavi Superiore is aged for another 8 months in French and American oak barriques.
