Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Wow. This is impressive and the cooler Adelaide Hills proving t"o be a good home for Georgia's famous red. Beautiful black-purple-red and while there's an abundance of dark fruit, spice and decent tannin structure, the palate is quite fine and savoury. Aged in used French oak for 1 year so no overt wood flavours interfering with the integrity of this wine.
