Left Foot Charley 2025 Saperavi, Old Mission Peninsula

Saperavi is an ancient variety that was born in the Republic of Georgia. It found its way to Old Mission Peninsula on a whim, and is starting to acclimate to the region.

The variety is a teinturier grape, which means that both its skins and juice are tinted deep red, providing an inky depth to the hue of the wine. It also curries a striking acid/tannin balance that defines the palate. This Saperavi was aged for 12 months in a combination of 1,200-liter round foudre and 225-liter barrique to help soften the edges and preserve the intensity of the flavor. The wine coats the mouth but finishes with an edgy dryness that is excellent with food.

The label image is a traditional Georgian sun symbol called borjgali which reflects life and eternity through its seven spinning arms.
