Within the cradle of ancient winemaking, the Kindzmarauli appellation is a dedicated space to grow Saperavi grapes that produce semi-sweet wines. If you’re wondering how the Saperavi grape becomes semi-sweet from its typical dry wine style, just know this… it’s all about the sugar levels. Over 30 grams per liter, in fact. This appellation provides the perfect environmental conditions, including higher day temperatures, that expedite the Saperavi grapes ripening. In turn, there’s a natural production of semi-sweet wines.

The SunWine label of Kindzmarauli is harvested from vineyards located in the Alazani Valley near the foothills of the Greater Caucasus Mountains in Kvareli, in the northeast Kakheti Province of Georgia. The Saperavi grapes are measured at 38.5% residual sugar grams per liter, in alignment with semi-sweet standards.

The fruit is thin-skinned and blueish-black in color, making a wine that is palatably upbeat and approachable with a slight sweetness and dominant notes of pomegranate. Food pairing suggestions include anything barbeque (except BBQ sauces with mustard), and desserts such as fudge brownies, cheeses and fruit. If you’re a Georgian, you’ll most likely drink this wine slightly chilled.

Award Winner
