Saperavi

Uh, it's a, it's a winery that's, uh, that's located in the northwest part of China, and they, they focus, uh, mostly on, on, on, on grapes that are not the most famous or most international.

So they actually have some, uh, Beishun, Saperavi, which are, which are grapes are originally from, uh, from, um, uh, from, uh...

Sorry, I'm losing my, my words.

Hmm.

But, uh-

What is the name of the grape variety?

Uh, Beishun and Saperavi.

Yeah.

When you buy your grapes in the shop and you cut them open, the pulp is translucent.

But the pulp and the grape in this, Saperavi, is really dark.

I actually have it on my Instagram if anyone wants to see it because we were really lucky to be there in late August.

Normally, when you go to a wine region, they don't want to see you at harvest time.

And so the my boss said, go.

go, you know, you've, you've been interested in, in coming up with a dossier on the Saperavi grape, go ahead and go there.

And so I, I come here and I fell in love with the place.

One thing leads to another, the St. Nino thing, the camping, the hiking, and my dad goes through the whole COVID thing and that made him suddenly decline in health.
