Woody Farm / Holiday Pinot Noir & Albariño 2022 (Red) 750ml
Regular price ¥4,400About 600kg of Pinot Noir that could somehow be vinified as red wine. While adding 15ppm sulfur dioxide, 300kg was destemmed and crushed, and another 300kg was destemmed only without crushing. The top of the fermentation tank was replaced with CO2, and a 6-day cold maceration was carried out.
Afterwards, yeast was added, and 100kg of Albariño harvested on 9/26 was destemmed and crushed, then spread over the Pinot Noir.
Albariño, which has higher sugar and acidity levels and, most importantly, a lower pH than PN, is layered on top of the tank to prevent contamination of the must. While the aroma of PN and the aroma when mixed with MC complement each other very well, using whole clusters carries the risk of raising the pH. Since Yamagata's PN naturally has a high pH, instead of enhancing the aroma by using whole clusters, we thought about creating aroma through co-fermentation with low-pH Albariño. The aroma that begins to emerge upon uncorking reflects this result. It offers a captivating flavor unlike any Pinot Noir previously found in Japan.
