Sapatio Mtsvane 2022
Who do we all have to thank for wine? Archeologists traced the first winemaking culture back to 6,000 BC in the southern Caucuses—what is modern day Georgia. After several decades under Soviet rule, Georgia is once again making some of the most interesting wines in the world today.
In 2020, a Georgian wine shocked the world and won the Champion Red Trophy at the International Wine Challenge. It hailed from the Margvelashvili brothers’ Tbilvino Winery, a terrific modern cellar with a focus on crafting top-quality, estate-bottled wines.
Made at this renowned winery, Sapatio Mtsvane showcases Georgia’s flagship white grape variety, Mtsvane. Fermented in stainless steel to let the grape’s natural character shine, the wine offers fresh peach, apricot and floral notes, with just a hint of crisp citrus. Zesty and bright, it makes a refreshing aperitif and pairs well with seafood, soft cheeses and more.
It’s still incredibly rare to see Georgian wines in the U.S. Secure your share of this elegant white today.
