2025

Vibrant in colour with deep purple hues

Layered with dark fruits and delicate florals and integrated cedar spice. A fine, balanced body is supported by a refined, chalky tannin profile that adds structure and length

Full-bodied and richly textured, bursting with concentrated red and black berry flavours. Layers of violet and spice unfold over a core of plush fruit, framed by fine, powdery tannins. The youthful acidity brings vibrancy and balance, driving through to a long, powerful finish.

Drink now or age up to 5 years.

Our Saperavi began with a simple offer from a local grower who approached Jack with access to a standout parcel of fruit. A handshake sealed the deal, and from there the project took on a life of its own. Jack and Assistant Winemaker Viv were immediately drawn to the variety’s intensity – the vibrant purple hue, the lift of violets, and the deep black-plum and mulberry aromatics that showed real promise from the outset.

In the winery, the fruit responded beautifully to a hands-on, small-scale approach. Open fermentation and daily hand-plunging allowed gentle extraction of those dark fruits and delicate florals, while a short maturation in seasoned French oak helped to integrate the subtle cedar spice without overshadowing the fruit. The result is a balanced, finely structured palate carried by refined, chalky tannins and impressive length.
