WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Twins Wine Cellar Saperavi 2018 involves traditional Georgian Qvevri technology, where grapes undergo fermentation and maceration in underground clay vessels. This ancient method, recognized by UNESCO, allows for significant skin contact. Following this, the wine is aged for one year in oak barrels, a European technique. The producer also cultivates some bio/organic vineyards and emphasizes quality control for sourced grapes. The 2018 vintage experienced favorable weather conditions.
