DESCRIPTION
In a nutshell:
A vibrant and earthy organic red from Georgia in the Caucasus made with a rarely seen grape variety - Shavkapito.
The lowdown:
Produced in a traditional style using qvevri - clay vessels lined with beeswax and buried in the ground - for fermentation and ageing resulting in a natural wine with a low level sulphur present. The wine itself has bold flavours with rich aromas of smoke, leather, tobacco and hints of anise precede a palate of plum, cherry and liquorice notes.
When to drink:
It's a perfect partner to robust meaty dishes so goes well with grilled or roasted lamb, beef and game birds.

PRODUCER
Pheasant's Tears
Situated in the heart of the Caucasus mountains in what is one of the most ancient wine growing regions in the world - viticulture was certainly practiced here as far back as 6,000 BC - Pheasant's Tears was established in 2007 with the explicit aim of reviving traditional Georgian winemaking techniques and varieties. The 20th century had seen the rise of many large scale wineries in the country with practices detached from the land and traditions.
All of Pheasant's Tears wines are fermented and matured in Qvevri, a unique Georgian ceramic vessel and among the first containers ever used for this purpose. No oak aging is used in their wines which gives the chance for the character of their rarely seen varietals to shine through.
