Cellar for up to 10 years. Decant for up to an hour before serving. Shumi Winery’s Iberiuli Saperavi has a richly scented nose, with hints of plum jam, crème de cassis, cherry and orange peel. It appears jammy and sweet on the nose, but the palate reveals dryness and depth. This is part of Shumi’s premium range, harvested from excellent vineyards in Kakheti, and aged in traditional Georgian clay casks, known as qvevri. Shumi Winery is named after an old Georgian word, meaning pure, unadulterated wine. It was founded in 2001, in the legendary village of Tsinandali, and is now spread across 300 hectares of vineyards, capturing many of the country’s most important terroirs. The winery has also been the recipient of countless gold medals, racking up awards in competitions such as Mundus Vini and the Wine Travel Awards. It has a deep purple colour in the glass, followed by a rich, velvety texture. It is known for being distinctly Kakhetian in style, with ripe fruit notes of pomegranate, prune and cherry. The fruity core is surrounded by more subtle hints of lavender, mulled wine spices, clay, and leather. Perfect for those seeking something new. Enjoy it alongside spiced lamb, traditional Georgian stews, or roasted vegetables.
