Located in Georgia's Kakheti region, Rtvelisi is a winery with approximately 250 hectares of vineyards spread across some of Kakheti's most renowned microzones and other wine-growing areas where altitude, microclimate, and soils create ideal conditions for quality viticulture. The historic winery, restored in 1920, is now equipped with the most advanced technologies, a testament to the great work that combines ancient traditions with modern innovation. Rtvelisi Kindzmarauli is a naturally semi-sweet red wine made with Saperavi grapes from the estate's vineyards located in the Kindzmarauli microzone of the Kakheti region, at the foot of the Greater Caucasus. Here, the combination of alluvial soils and hot summers creates ideal conditions for the perfect maturation of Saperavi. In the glass, the wine reveals an intense purple-red color. Its aromatic profile is broad and fruity, with notes of black cherry and blackberry on a spicy background. On the palate, it is rich, concentrated, and full-bodied. It has a delicate sweetness well balanced by a lively acidity. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, adding texture to the palate. The finish is long and flavorful, with ripe red fruit aromas. It is the ideal wine for berry tarts or Black Forest cake.
