Choosing Saperavi wines and blends
A Marlborough Saperavi. Hans Herzog Saperavi 2019 is described with an inky colour, concentrated black fruit and a savoury, layered palate. Its notes explain that maturation in new barrels refined the wine’s powerful tannins. The listing identifies organic certification. Explore the Hans Herzog range for more from this Marlborough estate, and compare each release’s own structure and maturation details.
An Australian amphora expression. Lethbridge Saperavi 2022 comes from Riverland, South Australia. Its winemaking description records handpicking, foot crushing, fermentation in terracotta amphorae and maturation in the same vessels with some grape skins. The tasting notes combine berry fruit with floral, earthy and savoury characters. This bottle’s region is Riverland, even though the wider Lethbridge selection includes wines from other regions.
Saperavi in a New Zealand blend. Kawa Grove Te Kahu Ma 2021 combines Saperavi, St Laurent and Syrah from Muriwai, Auckland. It offers a blend to compare with the two Saperavi bottlings; its character reflects all three grapes. Browse the Kawa Grove range or our red wine collection, and use the individual notes for the wine’s weight, tannin and serving suggestions.
