Underdog Grape · Georgia

Saperavi, Aleksandrouli & Mujuretuli

The oldest wine country on earth makes a red grape with crimson flesh — just like Alicante Bouschet. If you've never had a Georgian wine, you've been missing 8,000 years of the story.

Tasting profile
Naturally semi-sweet and velvety, with a little citrus lift and a whisper of raspberry. A wine that makes you grin.
