Serving

How to serve it, and what to expect in the glass.

Glass

Universal tulip

A medium tulip: sweetness reads without extra air, and a big bowl would only let the wine warm up.

What to check for Kindzmarauli

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.

Recognition

Medals, with the competition and the year attached.

A medal on its own is decoration. Each one here carries the competition, the year and the weight of that competition.

Zones sharing this grid cell: 2. Their weather does not differ in this data — the grid is coarser than the zones. Weather explains what the season was like; it does not rate the wine or say when to open it.

How vintage weather is calculated

Similar in style

Close in style, not in price.

Matched on colour, sweetness, grape and region, and — where recorded — on tannin, aging vessel and technology. One wine per winery, none from this wine's own winery. Price plays no part, and no place is for sale.
