Vachnadziani Otskhanuri Sapere Monastery Qvevri Wine
£28.99
A traditional Georgian red wine produced from the rare and ancient Otskhanuri Sapere grape, cultivated in the Imereti region.
This wine is crafted in qvevri (large clay amphorae buried underground), following a winemaking method that dates back over 8,000 years and is recognised by UNESCO as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage.
The Monastery line reflects the deep spiritual and cultural roots of Georgian viticulture, often associated with monasteries that safeguarded winemaking traditions for centuries.
The extended maceration in qvevri produces a robust, structured, and characterful wine that showcases Georgia’s heritage.

Alcohol Content
ABV 12.5–13%
Production Notes
Hand-harvested grapes, fermented naturally with indigenous yeasts in qvevri. Long skin contact, giving intense colour and tannic structure. Minimal intervention, unfiltered, and typically with low sulphur. Traditional clay vessels allow gentle micro-oxygenation, enhancing complexity and age-worthiness.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red with aromas of dark berries, sour cherry, pomegranate, and dried herbs. On the palate, firm tannins and lively acidity are balanced by notes of black plum, cranberry, spices, and earthy minerality. The finish is long, savoury, and slightly rustic, with a touch of smokiness.
Food Pairings
Excellent with hearty Georgian cuisine such as khachapuri, khinkali (dumplings), and lamb stews. Pairs well with game meats, barbecued dishes, and aged cheeses. Best consumed young to capture freshness, but qvevri wines can age for 8–10 years, gaining additional complexity.

The History of Chiswick Wines
Chiswick Wine — A Neighbourhood Wine Venture with Heart
Born from the passion of two wine enthusiasts, Chiswick Wine is more than just a bottle shop. It is the result of five years of dreaming, planning, and sourcing with purpose. Our founders left their careers to create something that would bring people together, support sustainability, and celebrate the beauty of honest wine making.
Every detail of Finchley Wine reflects that vision. The space is thoughtfully designed with an organic, natural aesthetic and shelves filled with handpicked bottles from producers who care for their land as much as their craft. We call it wine design, a blend of taste, community, and creativity that turns every visit into an experience.
At Chiswick Wine, you will find not only distinctive wines but also a welcoming space built on connection, sustainability, and local spirit.
