SHINDO WINES / ASAHA RED 2022 (Red) 760ml
Regular price ¥3,080Made with 100% Kyoho grapes from Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture. During maceration, pigeage was done gently and slowly once a day to avoid crushing the skins. To prevent volatile acidity, the amount of carbon dioxide in the tank was carefully monitored after pigeage, and the surface of the must was kept from exposure to oxygen throughout the late fermentation. After 11 days of maceration, the grapes were slowly pressed with a basket press, fermented in stainless steel tanks, and aged in amphorae.
The total fermentation period was about one month. After approximately five months of aging in amphorae, it was blended roughly 1:1 with a red wine made from 100% Kyoho grapes from Ukiha City (maceration for 5 days) that had been aged in stainless steel tanks, and bottled on April 21, 2023. The blend was based on the "light taste" characteristic of Kyoho red wine. The wine was racked twice before bottling, and a small amount of sulfites was added during blending before bottling. Wild yeast was used. Unfiltered and unclarified. No sugar or acid adjustments were made.
