Russell & Suitor 'Alejandro' Saperavi, Murray Darling 2021

Australia's take on this classic Georgian grape

Aromas of mulberry, plums and fennel leading to blackberries, dark cherries with a savoury backbone.
6 months maturation in a mixture of French and American oak adds flavours of toasty spice which complements the rich fruit.
The winemaking at Russell & Suitor is led by Alex Russell, whose time abroad led him to experiment with growing Mediterranean varieties in Southern Australia.
Drink now, or keep for another 5 years.
A brilliant food wine- would pair wonderfully with hearty meat dishes, tapas or dark chocolate.
