- Saperavi
- Charred carrots with black mole sauce
A walloping, thunderous red of impressive depth and heft. Saperavi's blacker-than-black credentials reveal an inky footprint of smouldering damson jam, violets, cherry popsicle and bitter-sweet dark chocolate tones.
COLIN'S NOTE
Saperavi, Alicante Bouschet and Chambourcin are examples of rare 'teinturier grapes' that provide dark juice on pressing rather than from maceration of grape skins.
IN SHORT
Saperavi; a dark, inky Georgian original that’s found its wild side in Australia.
Patritti
Patritti has been doing its thing since 1926, making wine in Adelaide long before it was cool, and still finding new ways to keep it interesting. Family-run, proudly independent and never afraid to experiment, they’ve turned their little corner of Brighton into a playground for bold ideas. Whether it’s reimagining Aussie classics or giving rare grapes like Saperavi a Barossa makeover, Patritti makes wine with curiosity, character and a big grin on its face.
