A characterful dry red from Kakheti, Georgia’s foremost wine region. Sourced from vineyards in Gurgvali Tkeebi, an area influenced by the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains and characterised by black schist soils, this wine reflects both regional heritage and distinctive terroir. Aleksandrouli is traditionally associated with the semi-sweet wines of western Georgia, yet here it is presented in a dry style, offering a fresh and expressive interpretation of this historic variety.
Tasting Notes:
Bright ruby in colour, the nose is inviting and aromatic, showing fresh cherry with a subtle caramel nuance. On the palate it is light- to medium-bodied and well balanced, with flavours of strawberry and sour cherry supported by gentle oak undertones from 12 months of barrel ageing. Juicy and approachable, it combines vibrant fruit with soft structure and a smooth, savoury finish.
Winemaking:
Produced predominantly from Aleksandrouli, blended with 15% Mujuretuli, the wine is vinified in a dry style and matured for 12 months in oak. The schist-influenced soils of Gurgvali Tkeebi contribute structure and definition, while careful ageing enhances complexity without overshadowing the purity of fruit.
Food Pairing:
A versatile red that can be lightly chilled in warmer months. Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, charcuterie and Mediterranean dishes, and complements poultry and lighter pasta sauces.
ABV: 13%
