Teliani Vineyards Kindzmarauli

Kakheti, Georgia | 100% Saperavi | 12.5% ABV | 35 g/L Residual Sugar

From the lush banks of the Alazani River in the Kindzmarauli microzone—one of Georgia’s most iconic appellations—comes this naturally semi-sweet red wine made exclusively from Saperavi, Georgia’s noble teinturier grape. Fermented in stainless steel and left un-oaked, this expression preserves all the purity and vibrancy of the fruit, striking a rare balance between richness and structure.

In the glass, it glows deep garnet with intense aromas of crushed rose petals, violets, and wild plums, layered over notes of sour cherry, blackberry, and sweet spice. On the palate, the wine is juicy yet poised, with a gentle sweetness carried by Saperavi’s hallmark acidity and tannin. The result is a silky, elegant finish that lingers with ripe fruit and floral complexity.

Historically beloved across the post-Soviet world and now winning hearts in the U.S., this is a perfect gateway to Georgian semi-sweet wines—bold in character, but never cloying.

Pair with: spicy duck, venison, blue cheese, fruit-based desserts, or simply chilled alongside a plate of dark chocolate and berries. A versatile wine that brings warmth, history, and a touch of magic to the table.
