Founded in 1915, Telavi wine cellar combines the best of Georgian tradition with a modern outlook. Aussie flying winemaker David Morrison has been consulting here since 1998, bringing state of the art techniques to enhance rather than overwhelm Georgia’s unique wine heritage. The winery was transformed and totally re-equipped in 1997 and now owns 450 hectares of its own vineyards in the Alazani Valley in the heart of Georgia’s best known wine region of Kakheti. Overlooking the river, with an altitude of 200 to 500m and protected by the towering heights of the Caucasus Mountains, this is a superb location for growing grapes with sunny days and cool nights, and the winery even has its own nursery to ensure the quality of its young vine plants. Telavi uses the brand name “Marani” for its wines – which means a small wine cellar – regarded as a sacred place to Georgians as it is where the grapes are transformed into wine, a drink at the heart of Georgian culture and hospitality

Telavi Marani Satrapezo 2006
Cellar Notes: A true marriage of tradition and modernity. Hand-picked Saperavi grapes from old vines are lightly crushed then fermented in traditional clay amphoras (called kvevri in Georgian), buried underground. Once the first fermentation is complete, the young wine goes into French oak barrels to complete its malolactic fermentation and then mature.
Appearance: Dense deep black red
Aromas: Forest fruit, dark chocolate, liquorice and hints of violet and vanilla.
Palate: The palate is full, weighty and robust with a real sense of place. Pallette starts with full bodies black fruit flavours and ripe silky oak tannins leading into round, full and soft flavours ending with clean blackcurrant flavours and liquorice notes. It also has the power and structure to keep for a few more years.
Serving Notes: Excellent with hearty dishes like beef in wine or steak pie, or game.
Grape; Saperavi
