Yellow Magic Winery / OLD SCHOOL MERLOT 2020 (Red) 750ml
Regular price ¥4,950Merlot contract-grown in Kamiyama City was not saignée (bleeding), underwent 90 days of low-temperature maceration, and then was aged for 1 year and 6 months without sulfites in both French oak and stainless steel tanks.
Thanks to low-temperature maceration, you can enjoy sufficient fruitiness and smoothness, a well-balanced oak aroma, and the delicate acidity typical of Yamagata.
You can feel the power of these grapes in a liquid that has lasted 1 year and 6 months without relying on sulfites.
It is not aimed at natural wine, but in Japan, winemakers called natural or natural style tend to dislike French oak; however, seeing wonderful overseas natural wines that use oak,
I thought it was important to skillfully incorporate classical elements, so I created a Japanese-style natural oak.
With the image of "OLD SCHOOL" as said in HIPHOP.
Unfortunately, this Kamiyama Merlot is no longer available, but I hope to reflect this style image in future winemaking.
I think it has become a wine that I quite like myself.
