Pheasants Tears Shavkapito 2010

Kpo says: This wine is from my old personal stock, perfect for drinking now! Faster buy ok? Or I will drink all up soon….

Shavkapito is one of the rarest red grapes, which was saved from the brink of extinction. There are about 10 hectares in production in the Kartli region of Eastern Georgia. According to master of wine, Jancis Robinson, shavkapito grapes produce “red-fruited wine with a smoky flavour, even without the influence of oak”.

There are only two producers making wines from the shavkapito grape. Their produce is made with minimal intervention from the vineyard to the cellar. Made in the qvevri with no oak ageing, this is as natural as wines come.

A very comfortable wine to drink with moderate alcohol levels. Long finishing. Back vintage library stock, very limited stock available only.
