Production of Orgo Saperavi Qvevri - Teleda Winery The grapes for Orgo Saperavi Qvevri - Teleda Winery come from carefully tended vineyards in Kakheti, near the village of Kisiskhevi. The continental climate with hot summers, cool nights and moderate rainfall allows the Saperavi grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. The marl and clay soils store warmth and moisture and thus shape the depth, structure and minerality of this wine. Harvesting is done selectively at the optimal stage of ripeness so that only aromatically dense, fully colored berries reach the cellar. There they undergo gentle processing, with the grapes being carefully destemmed and placed in traditional qvevri amphorae. These clay vessels, buried in the ground, provide a naturally balanced climate and enable slow, controlled fermentation. During fermentation the must remains in intensive contact with the skins and partly with the stems. This creates the deep dark color, the powerful tannin structure and the impressive aromatic diversity. The rising cap is regularly punched down, ensuring even extraction and a harmonious texture. After fermentation the wine continues to mature in the qvevri, protected in the earth, through which it gains calm, clarity and complexity. Maturation in amphorae does without dominant wood aromas and emphasizes the pure fruit and origin of the wine. The low-intervention approach of Teleda Winery relies on minimal interference and extensive manual work. Every phase pursues the goal of authentically depicting the original character of the Saperavi grape variety and the Kakhetian landscape. Subsequent bottle aging lends the wine additional finesse and integrates tannin, acidity and aromatics into a harmonious whole. As a certified vegan wine, this cuvée is produced without fining agents of animal origin. The pared-back presentation with an elegant Burgundy bottle underscores the purist, sophisticated style of Teleda Winery and directs the focus consistently to the contents.
