Yellow Magic Winery / OLD SCHOOL MERLOT 2020 (Red) 750ml
Regular Price ¥4,950The Merlot cultivated under contract in Kamiyama City was subjected to 90 days of low-temperature maceration without bleeding (sénage), and then aged for 1 year and 6 months in French oak and stainless steel tanks without sulfites.
Through low-temperature maceration, you can enjoy sufficient fruitiness and smoothness, as well as a well-balanced oak aroma and the delicate acidity characteristic of Yamagata.
"Without relying on sulfites, this liquid shows the power of these grapes that has endured for 1 year and 6 months."
"It is not aimed at natural wines, but in Japan, wine makers referred to as nature or natural wines tend to dislike French oak. However, looking at the wonderful overseas natural wines that use oak,"
I thought it was important to skillfully incorporate classical elements, so I created a Japanese oak nature.
In the image of "OLD SCHOOL" as said in HIPHOP.
Unfortunately, we can no longer obtain the Merlot from this vineyard, but I hope to reflect this image of the vineyard in our future winemaking.
I think it has become a wine that I really like myself.
