Akhasheni micro-zone is considered to be the best place for growing Saperavi in the whole Kakheti region. Thanks to its special soil and climate, the area favors growth of both dry and semi-sweet Saperavi. The grapes ripen well, maintaining the acidity and sweetness. Our original wine Akhasheni is a semi-sweet one, characterized by strong character and tannins

Vinification

We pick the selected grapes at 23-25% of sugariness and 7,5-8 titratable acidity. After removing the stem and de-pressing the clear juice is removed from the sediment and moved into fermentation reservoirs. We add the pure culture yeast. The fermentation proceeds at a low temperature of 18-22°C. As soon as the sugar level goes down to 7-5% during the fermentation, we cool it down to 3 degrees to stop fermentation and store it at -2-3°C degrees after filtration.
