Yellow Magic Winery / Su Merlot 2024 (Red) 750ml
Regular price ¥3,300Made with Merlot from the Okitama region of Yamagata Prefecture. To reduce the intensity reminiscent of the hot summer of 2024, destemmed and crushed grapes were cold-macerated for 60 days, with minimal punching down, using the cap in the tank to block air in this MC wine.
Because of this, the wine gains body compared to the usual sealed MC, and "aroma" and "gentleness" are produced more than in typical maceration.
I wanted to express a loose, smooth wine with Merlot from Yamagata, so I made it using this method.
The "pyrazine (green odor)" is minimal, with smooth, loose, juicy qualities prevailing, sweetness can also be felt, making it a wine that can be used in various scenes.
Since malolactic fermentation (MLF) is thoroughly carried out, I think you can enjoy an even more complex and delicious aftertaste.
Although the number of bottles produced is small, please enjoy "plain udon," "plain soba," or rather, "plain Merlot."
