Askaneli MUKUZANI red dry wine – 0,75 l

Askaneli Mukuzani – Georgian Red Wine

If classic Saperavi is the heart of Georgian winemaking, then Mukuzani is its crown. Named after a specific village and micro-zone in the Kakheti region, this area is historically revered as the finest terroir for the Saperavi grape.

Askaneli Mukuzani proudly carries the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, a guarantee of the highest quality. What sets Mukuzani apart from standard red wines is its mandatory aging process. Following fermentation, the wine rests in oak barrels for several months. This time spent in contact with wood tames the natural wildness of the grapes, imbuing the wine with unparalleled elegance, structure, and depth.

This is a wine for those who seek more than just fruity freshness—it is for those who demand a story, complexity, and a sophisticated profile in every glass.

Tasting Profile

• Color: At first glance, the wine captivates with a deep, dark ruby color and garnet reflections, hinting at its high viscosity and strength.

• Aroma: The nose is exceptionally rich and multi-layered. Initial aromas of black cherries and blackberries blend elegantly with distinct notes of oak, vanilla, clove, and dark chocolate.

• Palate: On the palate, Mukuzani feels full-bodied and robust. Thanks to the oak aging, the tannins are beautifully smoothed and velvety, creating a firm backbone for the flavors of ripe berries and spice. The finish is long, dry, and noble.

Serving Recommendations

A wine of such complexity deserves respect and proper service. We recommend opening the bottle in advance or decanting it to allow the aromas to fully breathe.

• Serving Temperature: 18 °C

• Food Pairing: Mukuzani is born for bold pairings. It is unrivaled with beef steaks, roast lamb, venison specialties, or a platter of mature hard cheeses.
