Under a shop's price are other lots and formats it currently sells. They are excluded from the median, the range and the verdict: a different bottling year or a different bottle size is a different product, not the same wine at another price.

Origin

Producer:Telavi Wine CellarLarge producer, own vineyards

Region: Kakheti

Appellation: KindzmarauliElevated authenticity risk

What to check for this appellation

Kindzmarauli is a naturally semi-sweet red PDO from the Kvareli micro-zone in Kakheti, made exclusively from Saperavi, with sweetness achieved by arrested fermentation rather than added sugar. It is one of Georgia's best-known names and its demarcated zone is limited (open estimates put the registered zone in the low-to-mid hundreds of hectares), so demand can exceed authentic zone output and the name is sometimes stretched to Saperavi grown outside the zone. What to check: confirm the wine is Saperavi from the registered Kindzmarauli zone in Kvareli and that the producer sources grapes there.
