Azumino Winery / Azumino Reserve 2021 (Red) 750ml

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and others cultivated in our own vineyard at an altitude of 700m were blended and aged in barrels for 12 months. It uses the same blend as the Bordeaux region of France (Bordeaux blend). By blending, it combines the tannins and strength of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness and mellowness of Merlot, resulting in a highly refined wine.

It serves as a second label to the Château Azumino series. Since it is about 2,000 yen cheaper, it is a very good value wine considering its quality.

When sipped, you can sense aromas of coffee and chocolate from the barrel, as well as a cedar leaf-like scent and rich fruit flavors reminiscent of dried prunes. Upon swallowing, the acidity and astringency blend harmoniously, spreading a concentrated sensation of fruitiness and extract. With a high usage rate of new barrels, the barrel flavor is distinctly noticeable. Recommended for those who enjoy barrel aromas. This is a dry red wine with a medium to full body, featuring a soft and smooth mouthfeel, astringency that follows, and a perfect harmony with the barrel aroma.
