Shavkapito 2021
Kartli, Georgia
Shavkapito | 13.5% ABV
This unique Georgian varietal is fragrant and elegant. Notes of plum and cherry cover the palate with a delicate hint of sweet spices and blackcurrant on the nose. Delicious.
Excellent with beef, game, lamb, pasta with tomato sauce, pork, and vegetarian dishes.
Best served at 15 – 18°C.
Our four wines from Georgia showcase the unique characteristics and flavour profiles of the country. Aged notes, deep complexity, bold and brave tannins compliment these pieces of traditional Georgian culture. Simply divine.
Georgia is one of the oldest wine making countries in the world. There are around 500-525 different endemic, indigenous grape types in Georgia, which do not exist anywhere else. We still make amber (orange) and red wines in “Qvevri” using an ancient method. “Qvevri” is a large earthenware vessel used for the fermentation, storage and ageing of traditional Georgian wine. The wine made in traditional Georgian way is free of any animal product or artificial yeast.
