MATCH WITH 2014 HUGH HAMILTON THE QUIRKY SAPERAVI, $39.50

Saperavi is thought to be the

most ancient of red grapes. It is native to Georgia, which has an 8000-year-old tradition

of winemaking. There is a surprising and elusive nature to the aromatics that speak of its deep complexity. Expect savoury, drying, tannins,

and lingering intensity, pan-heated spices, dried violets and cherry wood. These elements will work beautifully with this strong

flavoured smoky dish.
