About this product
Saperavi ('paint' in Georgian) is one of the world's only naturally teinturier grape varieties — with red flesh as well as red skin — producing wines of intense colour, dark fruit concentration, and remarkable tannin structure. Pheasant's Tears' qvevri-fermented Saperavi shows extraordinary depth: blackberry, dark cherry, pomegranate, tobacco, and iron mineral. Traditional qvevri vinification gives complexity and longevity that modern Georgian wine rarely achieves. Age 8-15 years with confidence.

Pheasant's Tears Saperavi meets the lamb herb stew that defines Georgian spring feasting. The wine's inky concentration, pomegranate, dark cherry, and iron mineral structure is the natural companion for slow-braised lamb with sour plums, tarragon, and coriander. A pairing of absolute cultural authenticity and flavour harmony.

complement
Saperavi — one of the world's most teinturier red grapes — produces wines of extraordinary concentration and tannin, natural partners for grilled beef. Pheasant's Tears Saperavi's dark fruit, tobacco, and iron mineral character stand alongside aged beef with confidence; chimichurri's herb freshness amplifies the wine's character while smoked salt bridges the wine's structure with the beef's char.
