Pop A Cork - Wine [440]
This time there is a bottle of Georgian wine in front of me. Vintage 2013 with the Polish band from 2013. Semi-sweet red wine with the charming name Kindzmarauli. Closed with a real cork, 12% alcohol, not as thick as, for example, Bordeaux. So, at first glance, nothing special. And yet.... but let's start from the beginning. In wine production, mixing different types of grapes is a commonly used method and often ensures the appropriate quality of the final product, such for example champagne. The bottle of today's wine contains information that it is made from Saperavi grapes. Saperavi is very common in the former Soviet republics but also in the USA (around New York) and Canada. This grape has been known for thousands of years and is often used for blending wines. And we come to the heart of the matter. Only Georgians produce wine made only from Saperavi grapes... and this wine is Kindzmarauli. Of course, the taste is extraordinary. Not only are the grapes thousand years old, that's on top of that the wine is not blended. Heaven in your mouth and the entire history of winemaking.🍷
