@Konyok:
Late harvest Saperavi is called Kindzmarauli.
OT, indeed. My take from the spotty evidence is that Saperavi is a native-Georgian variety used in most Georgian reds, it is a full season maturing fruit, and that the Kindzmerauli wine is 100% Saperavi from that one exceptionally blessed sub-district. I know, точно до точки, if I may invent ein bisselle zhargona.

Hmmm, you love Kindzmarauli so you MUST love *very* fine young Ports with a rich fruity nose.

What about “Usakhelauri” — much vaunted — has Okhuri in the Racha-Lechkhumi district North West of “Ossettia”? Said to be great.
