This is a great semi-sweet Georgian wine. And not too sweet. Thank goodness. Big fruits, and tannic. — a month ago

Tamada – Kindzmarauli 2023 (Semi-Sweet Red)
Duruji Valley, Kakheti – Georgia 🇬🇪

Overview
Made from 100% Saperavi, this semi-sweet red is a hallmark of the Kindzmarauli PDO, located in Georgia’s Kakheti region. Naturally semi-sweet wines like this are produced by stopping fermentation early, leaving residual sugar while retaining Saperavi’s intense fruit character. (Educational note: Kindzmarauli wines are protected by Georgian appellation law, recognized internationally for their semi-sweet style.)

Aromas & Flavors
Rich and fruit-forward, with notes of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum jam. Hints of pomegranate, violet, and a touch of cocoa give extra layers of sweetness and depth.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with velvety tannins, lush sweetness, and balancing acidity that keeps the wine from feeling heavy. Smooth and round, with a lingering, fruit-driven finish.

Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with spicy lamb kebabs, Georgian walnut-based dishes, or blue cheeses. Also a great match for dark chocolate desserts or enjoyed on its own as a festive, easy-drinking red.

Verdict
A classic Kindzmarauli: rich, semi-sweet, and deliciously approachable. The 2023 vintage captures Saperavi’s dark fruit intensity while offering balance and charm, making it both a crowd-pleaser and a cultural staple. 🍷cheers!

Did You Know?
The Kindzmarauli microzone lies along the Alazani River in Kakheti. Its alluvial soils and warm climate give Saperavi the depth of fruit that makes these semi-sweet wines so distinctive. — 3 months ago
