How can you observe a winemaking tradition as ancient as known history itself? How do you funnel the intense character and passionate pride that Georgian people take in their wines? You need to make Georgian wine in the way it was made thousands of years ago, in the same place with the same vessels. Pheasant's Tears in Kakheti do just that: 100% local red variety, Saperavi, is raised and aged in special Amphora tanks sunk into the ground called Qvevri (k'vevri). In our eyes, it is one of the best red wines you'll find on our website, and in general. A dark purple almost black colour, it is a generous natural wine with very ripe aromas and an explosive palate that fills the mouth with fruity, lively earthy flavours. It is extremely fresh with good structure and tannins, do not expect a heavy wine. We recommend opening the bottle at least 1-2 hours before drinking and serving lightly chilled (around 16-18 C). Enjoy with roast leg of lamb or rich meaty casseroles. Read less
