This is a 100% Merlot red wine produced in Kikurukucho.
The compatibility with clayey soil is good, and grapes that honestly express the characteristics of the variety can be harvested.
The harvest season is from early to mid-September.
The manufacturing process involves destemming and crushing all the grapes, and fermenting them with the skins in stainless steel tanks.
During fermentation, stirring is done using a pump for remontage, but excessive extraction is avoided to maintain the flavor.
We will promote fermentation with a focus on balance.
After alcohol fermentation, it is clarified by racking and then transferred to French oak barrels in full volume.
"After about one year of barrel aging, it is bottled."
Furthermore, it has been aged in the cellar for about a year and a half, resulting in an elegant flavor.
