6× Khareba Kindzmarauli Red Semi-Sweet Wine

Khareba Kindzmarauli – Georgian Semi-Sweet Red Wine from Kakheti (Saperavi)

Kindzmarauli is one of Georgia’s best-known appellations, referring to a precisely delimited microzone at the heart of Kakheti where Saperavi grapes ripen to naturally high sugar levels. It is here that Khareba Kindzmarauli is born, in a region that has been synonymous with Georgian winemaking for centuries. The harvest, the maturation, and the recognition earned at prestigious competitions from Germany to Japan all show that traditional Kakhetian craftsmanship holds its own among the world’s finest wines. For lovers of authentic Georgian flavour, it’s a natural choice alongside the other Georgian red wines in our range. Fans of a similar style will also enjoy semi-dry wines from the same winery or other celebrated Georgian semi-sweet red appellations, which you’ll also find among our gift sets.
