On the label
What the label should show

These are requirements of the specification. A label that meets them complies with the specification; it does not prove that the bottle is genuine.

Authenticity risk: no flag
We hold no evidence of elevated risk. Not a guarantee of authenticity.
Mukuzani is a dry red PDO from Kakheti (Gurjaani district), made from Saperavi and traditionally oak-aged for at least three years. It is a widely produced dry style whose supply broadly matches the zone, and it does not carry the over-supply concerns of the naturally-semi-sweet appellations, so no notable authenticity concern applies. As with any PDO, the wine should be Saperavi from the registered zone.
