Baia's Wine "Gvantsa's Wine" Otskhanuri Sapere Red Pet Nat 23

This is a red Pet-Nat made by one of our favourite forgotten varieties, only grown in the Western region of Georgia. Otskhanuri Sapere is bright and acidic but firmly structured. This pet-nat began its fermentation in Qvevri with its skins which provided an intense ruby colour. It is juicy and refreshing, with high acidity and elegant bubbles. Black currant, cherries, and a herbaceous undertone. Baia and her younger siblings Gvantsa (Sister) and Giorgi (Brother) were born and raised in Obcha in a friendly, traditional family of winemakers. They spent a happy childhood watching how parents and grandparents were involved in the diverse winemaking processes. Children were also allowed to arrange their own small farm with vineyards, greens, household animals and plantations, and spent their free time exploring the wonders of nature. At that time, the Abuladze family traditionally produced wine using Imeretian technology the maceration process (soaking the juice of the grape with the skins and sometimes also the stems) was shorter and only 5-10% of grape skin was used during fermentation in Qvevri. A few years after starting with white wines, the trio offered red wine from Otskhanusi Sapere and Aladasturi grapes. Today, they produce wines from Imeretian vine varieties such as Tsolikouri, Tsitska, Krakhuna, Aladasturi, Otskhanuri Sapere. Each grape cluster is chosen carefully only from the Abuladzes Obcha vineyards. The grape crushing, fermentation and aging is all done by the trio in the family cellar, to proudly offer the highest-quality organic Georgian wine to the world.
