Tavkveri SB is Tchotiashvili's red bottling from Tavkveri, a grape indigenous to the Kartli region of Georgia that is also grown in Kakheti, where this winery is based at Saniore. The wine is made in the Georgian qvevri tradition, fermented and aged in the buried earthenware vessels rather than in steel; the front label reads "Natural Qvevri Wine." The "SB" stands for "Specially Bottled," the producer's designation for selected lots that are hand numbered, signed by the winemaker, and released only after his approval; each bottle here carries a handwritten number out of the lot. This is the 2018 vintage at 14% alcohol, imported to Ukraine by Wine Bureau.
