Taoba Saperavi 2023 Kakheti, Georgië

Taoba Saperavi 2023 is een krachtige Georgische rode wijn uit Kakheti, gemaakt door wijnmakers Nugzar Ksovreli en Thierry Fontannaz. Achter deze wijn staat Ilia Estate, waar de geschiedenis van de Konchosvilli familie een belangrijke rol speelt, met kelders die teruggaan tot 1737. Die combinatie van oude Georgische wijncultuur en modern vakmanschap zie je terug in de stijl van Taoba, een diepe, kruidige Saperavi met rijp donker fruit, qvevri invloed en houtopvoeding.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven komen uit Kakheti, het belangrijkste wijngebied van Georgië en een regio met een lange traditie in qvevri wijnbouw.

  • Ligging / Herkomst: De wijngaarden liggen in Kakheti, in het oosten van Georgië, nabij de grens met Azerbeidzjan. Binnen dit gebied spelen Kvareli en Kindzmarauli een belangrijke rol langs de vallei van de Duruji rivier.
  • Hoogte: De zuidelijke hellingen van de Kaukasus liggen op meer dan 400 meter hoogte. Die ligging helpt om rijpheid te combineren met frisheid in de druiven.
  • Bodem: De bodems zijn rijk aan zwarte schalie. Dit type bodem warmt goed op en draagt bij aan concentratie in het fruit.
  • Klimaat & Invloeden: De nabijheid van de Kaukasus zorgt voor milde dagen en koele nachten tijdens de oogstperiode. Dat helpt de druiven gezond te houden en ondersteunt een langzame, gelijkmatige rijping.
  • Wijngaard & Oogst: De wijnstokken hebben een gemiddelde leeftijd van 30 jaar en de druiven worden met de hand geoogst en zorgvuldig geselecteerd.

Druiven

Taoba Saperavi wordt volledig gemaakt van Saperavi, een van de meest karakteristieke blauwe druiven van Georgië.

  • 100% Saperavi – Kakheti: Saperavi is een teinturier, een blauwe druif met rood vruchtvlees. Dat verklaart de diepe kleur, stevige structuur en geconcentreerde donkere fruittonen van deze wijn.

Vinificatie en rijping

De vinificatie combineert traditionele Georgische qvevri met moderne keldertechniek en houtopvoeding.

  • Vergisting: Een deel van de wijn vergist in qvevri, grote aardewerken amforen die traditioneel in Georgië worden gebruikt voor vergisting en rijping. Een ander deel vergist in roestvrijstaal, wat helpt om de pure fruitexpressie van Saperavi te bewaren.
  • Rijping / Houtopvoeding: De uiteindelijke cuvée rijpt in een combinatie van roestvrijstaal, qvevri, 5000 liter houten vaten en Amerikaanse eikenhouten vaten. Daardoor krijgt de wijn zowel kracht en structuur als kruidigheid, ronding en extra diepte.

Proefnotities en serveertips

Diep robijnrood in het glas, met aroma’s van zwarte bes, braam, viooltjes, zwarte peper, chocolade en een vleugje vanille. In de mond is Taoba Saperavi vol, sappig en geconcentreerd, met fluweelzachte tannines en een kruidige, lange afdronk. De combinatie van donker fruit, qvevri structuur en houtopvoeding maakt dit een heerlijke rode wijn voor liefhebbers van krachtige, karaktervolle wijnen.

  • Serveertemperatuur: Serveer deze wijn op 16–18 °C, zodat het donkere fruit, de kruidigheid en de ronde tannines mooi samenkomen.
  • Gerechten: Mooi bij geroosterde lamsbout met tijm, entrecote, kruidige stoofgerechten, comté en gruyère.

Bekroningen

  • 4,2 sterren, Vivino: Met meer dan 2200+ beoordelingen laat deze wijn zien dat hij breed wordt gewaardeerd door wijnliefhebbers.
  • 8,5, De Grote Hamersma: Een sterke beoordeling voor een Georgische Saperavi waarin de diepe kleur, kruidigheid en qvevri invloed duidelijk naar voren komen.

Meer informatie over Ilia Estate

Ilia Estate is nauw verbonden met de geschiedenis van de Konchosvilli familie, waarvan de kelders dateren uit 1737. Wijnmakers Nugzar Ksovreli en Thierry Fontannaz lieten zich inspireren door die erfenis en werken met Georgische technieken die al eeuwenlang deel uitmaken van de wijncultuur. De familie is ook eigenaar van Bedoba Estate, waardoor Taoba en Bedoba dezelfde historische basis delen, zonder dat ze als één en hetzelfde project moeten worden gezien.

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

my new favorite book
Format: Kindle
Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done
