Made from the indigenous Georgian variety Saperavi, partially vinified in traditional qvevri vessels, Bedoba translates to `Day of Luck’. The original winery, whose cellars date back to 1737, was founded by the Konchosvilli family who had a close relationship with the church
A small percentage of the grapes are whole bunch fermented, while another is left to dry naturally on the vines until November, ensuring a fine balance of the grape's savoury and spicy characteristics. Stainless steel tanks and clay qvevri are used for fermentation, exemplifying the blend of innovation and tradition employed by Ksovreli and Fontannaz. The resulting wine is then aged in second and third fill American oak barrels barrels and 5,000-litre wooden vats, before a further 12 months in bottle, to create a seamless texture.
This wine mesmerizes with flavours of dried apricot, honey, orange peel, and wild herbs. It has a captivating texture and complexity.
