Chateau Mukhrani Shavkapito 2022
13.5% alcohol, cork, Kartli/Georgia.

Light means more. This is lovely. It’s cherried, infused with herbs, has lots of grip but still manages to have very good length. Cedar, red flowers and sweet spice notes lift off the nose, particularly once it’s had a chance to breathe. I marvelled. This isn’t a great wine but it's a beautiful one. 93 points.

I’ve reviewed a suite of Chateau Mukhrani wines to the (subscriber) Winefront site – here – but this is such a lovely wine to drink that I couldn’t resist mentioning it here too.
