Cave d'Occhi / Sankou (Tsuru Tsuki Sakura) Rouge 2024 (Red) 750ml

This is a red wine blended from Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Kerner.
Destemmed and crushed Merlot and Petit Verdot with Kerner juice added, fermented with natural yeast for 11 days with gentle pigeage every other day. After pressing, it was aged for 8 months in old barrels. Sulfur dioxide was used only at bottling at 10 ppm.
We also made it in 2023 Kisui, but this is a red and white blend wine that I especially love even in mixed fermentation. It has translucent red fruit and a floral flavor like white wine; it’s a mysteriously alluring liquid that somehow makes you want to reach for it.
Cold, damp shadows of red fruits, tanned leather, refreshing herbs, grapefruit, muscat—these elements are scattered throughout and spread layeredly into the finish along with soft tannins.
Since it has only been 5 months since bottling, it gives a rough impression. If you drink it early, please enjoy it at a higher temperature with a large glass.
It can be enjoyed well even now, but personally, I think letting it age for another 1 to 2 years will soften the fruit edges and bring out its true value.
