Tasting notes and serving recommendations

This Otskhanuri Sapere Rosé displays a deep salmon color and opens with fresh herbal and red berry notes, revealing aromas of elderberry, fennel, strawberry, and red currant, complemented by subtle earthy tones. Aged in Qvevri for 30 months, the wine has gained structure and texture while preserving its vibrant freshness and naturally high acidity. The palate is dry with bright acidity and a balanced, elegant finish. Produced without fining or filtration, it may contain natural lees, enhancing its character and mouthfeel. Serve chilled at 10–12 °C, ideally after light aeration. An excellent match for charcuterie, grilled salmon, roasted poultry, Mediterranean-style dishes, and soft cheeses, where its freshness and complexity are beautifully expressed.
