Shan Clair / Merlot Barrel Aged 2018 (Red)

A smooth red wine with rich fruit flavors and gentle astringency, slowly aged in barrels. Recommended dishes include grilled eel with sansho pepper and mapo tofu.

<ワイナリー様より＞>
Shan Clair wines generally have a firm acidity. From immediately after opening to the first day, you can enjoy fresh fruit flavors and solid acidity. Around 3 to 5 days after opening, the wine becomes mellow, with rich aromas, and the acidity and astringency blend harmoniously, enriching the taste. Although it varies by individual, it can be enjoyed for about a week.
Please enjoy the wine as it changes with the passage of time.
Also, the recommended dishes are suggested for wine around 4 to 5 days after opening. Compared to generally recommended pairings, red wine goes well with yuzu pepper, sansho, and spicy dishes, while rosé and white wines seem to pair well with Japanese herbs.
It might pair better with sauce-based dishes than with broth- or soy sauce-based ones.
I hope this will be helpful to you.
