Mukuzani

Product Image

Badagoni Mukuzani is a testament to our dedication to crafting exceptional wines. As an Appellation Origin Controlled wine, it originates from the renowned Mukuzani micro-zone in the Kakheti region of Georgia. Located on the right bank of the Alazani River, this area stretches along the foothills of the Tsiv-Gombori Range, offering ideal conditions for producing premium Saperavi grapes. Carefully harvested at peak ripeness, the grapes undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 6-8 months, adding depth and complexity to its character. This wine offers a perfect balance of vibrant acidity and rich flavors. Its bouquet features notes of red berries, black cherries, and subtle hints of tobacco, chocolate, and black pepper. The silky tannins and harmonious finish make it a truly delightful experience.

Vinification

Grapes are harvested at peak ripeness (late September / early October), destemmed and crushed. The must undergoes alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks (25-28°C).  Following alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine is then transferred to the French oak barrels (225 l) for maturation for 6-8 months.

The winemaker comment

Badagoni’s Mukuzani showcases the winery’s dedication to quality, regardless of production volume. This wine presents itself with marked acidity and freshness and a beautiful balance on both the nose and the palate. Here the structure complements the saperavi’s inherent charm and flavor. The bouquet is a delightful mix of lively red berries and black cherries, accented by hints of tobbacco, chocolate, and black pepper. Silky tannins, a persistent freshness, and a harmonious finish complete this enjoyable drinking experience.
