La Petite Mort Saperavi Quervi 2022

La Petite Mort Saperavi Qvevri 2022 is a bold and unconventional expression of Georgia’s deeply coloured Saperavi grape, crafted in Queensland’s Granite Belt using traditional qvevri fermentation. Extended skin contact builds remarkable depth, savoury complexity and firm structure, while vibrant acidity keeps the wine energetic and balanced.

Appearance:

Opaque purple-black with a vivid crimson rim.

Aroma:

Intense aromas of blackberry, black cherry and mulberry are layered with violet, dried herbs, cracked pepper, earth and subtle smoky spice.

Taste:

Full-bodied and concentrated, with dark berry fruit, plum skin and sour cherry framed by firm, grippy tannins. Savoury notes of liquorice, black tea, dried herbs and mineral earth add complexity, while fresh acidity provides lift.

Finish:

Long, dry and structured, with lingering dark fruit, pepper, earthy spice and fine tannin.

Food Pairing:

Pair with slow-cooked lamb, grilled beef, venison, smoky eggplant, mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses.
