Saperavi is often compared to Malbec and Cabernet Franc. A strikingly deep purple colour, bright and juicy with fresh crunchy dark berry flavours, firm grippy tannins and perfectly balanced acidity.
There has been a winery in the village since the 1800s and to ensure that this long history of winemaking continued, Teliani Valley was established in the 1990s by a group of enthusiastic young winemakers. Originally a converted car workshop was their home, but with their tremendous vineyards and skill for making quality wines, they have gone from strength to strength and are now one of the biggest producers in Georgia, with annual production of 5 million bottles.
