Embark on a profound journey into the cradle of wine with Ancient Red 8K, a truly unique semi-dry Georgian wine, presented in a classic 750ml bottle. At 12.5% ABV, this wine is a testament to Georgia's unparalleled winemaking history, which dates back over 8,000 years – a legacy honoured by the '8K' in its name. Produced from the indigenous Saperavi grape, a renowned Georgian varietal known for its deep colour and robust character, this wine is likely made using methods that respect traditional techniques, perhaps even incorporating aspects of the ancient Qvevri (clay amphora) winemaking.

Ancient Red 8K pours a deep, intense ruby-red hue, inviting you to explore its complex aroma. On the nose, it offers a rich bouquet of dark forest fruits – think ripe cherries, plums, and blackberries – intertwined with subtle hints of spice and a touch of earthiness. The palate delivers a beautifully balanced experience. It is semi-dry, meaning it offers a delightful touch of natural sweetness that is harmoniously integrated with its vibrant fruit flavours and soft tannins. This balance makes it incredibly approachable and versatile. The finish is smooth, lingering, and exceptionally pleasant, leaving a memorable impression.

This Georgian semi-dry red is ideally suited for enjoying with a wide array of dishes. It pairs wonderfully with spicier cuisine, grilled meats, rich stews (perfect for winter evenings), hard cheeses, or even as a delightful accompaniment to chocolate-based desserts. For those in New Zealand seeking an authentic taste of ancient winemaking tradition and a captivating, uniquely balanced red wine, Ancient Red 8K offers an unparalleled European experience. Discover its depth and charm throughout the cosy winter months.
