Telavi Marani Saperavi 2021
The Telavi Marani Saperavi has a beautiful, deep red color with a purple hue, reflecting the intensity of the grape. The aroma is rich in forest fruits and cherries, giving the wine a fruity and inviting scent. On tasting, the same fruitiness emerges, with a hint of spiciness that adds an extra dimension. The wine has a well-balanced flavor and finishes with a firm, long aftertaste. This beauty is a versatile wine that pairs well with various dishes. The full, fruity, and spicy flavors make it the ideal companion for grilled meats, such as steak or lamb, as well as rich dishes with red sauces. It also pairs excellently with aged cheeses, such as mature cheddar or goat cheese. It is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature of 16-18°C for the best tasting experience.
Telavi Marani was founded in 1915 and quickly underwent a significant change: just two years later, the Russian Revolution broke out, resulting in the nationalization of the company. It wasn’t until the end of the twentieth century that Telavi Marani came back into private hands, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the rich history of the winery.
Today, the wine production at Telavi Marani heavily relies on the expertise of French wine consultants and oenologists, who are closely involved in every aspect of the process. From grafting the vines to the careful bottling of the wines, each step is meticulously controlled. Telavi Marani's philosophy is deeply rooted in the local winemaking tradition, with a strong focus on using indigenous grape varieties that reflect the unique terroir of the region.
The wines of Telavi Marani have found their way to markets in Russia, Europe, New Zealand, and the United States, winning over a hundred gold and silver medals at international competitions worldwide. This not only highlights the quality and craftsmanship of the winery but also the popularity of their products. With a surprisingly modern appearance, the wines perfectly align with the refined tastes of Western Europe and are appreciated both locally and internationally.
