Bottlerocker Aimée first encountered Saperavi at a Georgian master class and bumped into it again in her own backyard. Previously cloaked "The Dark Red" at Standing Stone, the grape has made a label debut thanks to the persistence of co-owners Marti & Tom Macinski in getting the government to recognize it.
