Chan Clair / Gruner Yama Sauvignon Merlot Barrel Aged 2019 (Red)

We crafted Yama Sauvignon and Merlot from Hokuto City's Akeno Town, grown in a scenic vineyard at 700m elevation, boasting some of Japan's longest sunlight hours, nurtured by the bright sun and refreshing breeze.
We blended Yama Sauvignon, which has a wild character, with smooth Merlot. Please enjoy the rich fruit flavors and the harmonious blend.

<From the Winery>
Chan Clair wines generally have a firm acidity. From just after opening to the first day, you can enjoy fresh fruit flavors and a solid acidity. Around 3 to 5 days after opening, the wine becomes mellow, with rich aromas, and the acidity and astringency blend harmoniously, enriching the flavor. Although it varies by individual, it can be enjoyed for about a week.
Please enjoy the wine as it changes with the passage of time.
Also, our recommended dishes are suggested for wine around 4 to 5 days after opening. Compared to generally recommended pairings, red wine goes well with yuzu pepper, sansho pepper, and spice-based dishes, while rosé and white wines seem to pair nicely with Japanese herbs.
It may pair better with sauce-based dishes than with broth- or soy sauce-based ones.
We hope this will be helpful for your reference.
