Papari Valley sits in the rolling hillsides of Kakheti – Georgia’s most well-known appellation. Its name, translates to horse’s mane in Georgian, a reference to the valley’s wavy appearance. Papari Valley has followed organic farming practices since 2014 (under Caucascert) and ferments its wines using naturally occurring yeasts. No synthetic herbicides, pesticides or systemic treatments are used in the vineyards.
Papari Valley’s unique terraced Qvevri system enables vinification using gravity flow – this demonstrates the winemaker’s dedication to natural winemaking with minimal intervention. The first terrace is for fermentation, the second is for ageing and the basement (the third terrace) is reserved for premium wines which undergo further ageing. The journey for this particular Saperavi took 6 months through the winery’s terraced Qvevri system. Its last leg was spent ageing on the third terrace in Qvevri number 2.
This is a stunning, one-of-a-kind wine. In fact, the 2020 is one of the finest Georgian reds out there. Pure, concentrated, and inky blue/crimson in colour. Its medium tannins are balanced by gorgeous blueberry fruit and a lovely creamy finish. We recommend decanting for an hour to help soften the tannins and allow it to truly shine. The potential is there to lay this vintage down for 10 years or more. With that said – why wait that long!
