Wine 101:

Experience the magic of Kindzmarauli, Georgia's premier semisweet wine, with velvety texture and hints of blueberry, currants, and vanilla. Pairs perfectly with mushroom dishes and juicy burgers - a must-try for wine lovers!

Continuing with education about delicious wine from the country of Georgia.

They have produced superior wines for thousands of years. 

Kindzmarauli (kinz-mah-rah-oo-lee) is a semisweet wine from Georgia produced with the Saperavi grape. 

Produced since 1942 is the nation’s leading semisweet red wine. Just one sip of Kindzmarauli is enough to remember it forever. The soil consisting of black shale plays a major role in the taste. This black shale washed down by the Duruji river retains heat, which increases the temperature of the soil and the sweetness of the grapes.

A semisweet red wine with a velvety smooth texture. Deep plum in color with notes of blueberry, currants, and hints of vanilla. Kindzmarauli has an alcohol content of around 10-12%, and medium-bodied.

Pairs well with mushroom dishes, juicy burgers, short ribs, goat cheese dips, and roasted veggie sandwiches. The wine isn’t super sweet and has assertive tannins when young. This wine is one of my favorite Georgian red wines and will make an interesting conversation with fellow wine lovers.
