Shavkapito is fairly obscure red grape variety found in Georgia. It is produced by some of Georgia’s most accessible wineries such as Pheasant’s Tears and Château Mukhrani. It is generally considered to be a lighter, fresher version of Saperavi.
Chateau Mukhrani is an historic wine estate located close to Tbilisi in Georgia. The cellars were renovated in 2003 and today the vineyards cultivate an extensive range of local varieties such as Goruli Mtsvane, Chinuri, Tavkveri and Shavkapito.
