This dry red wine is made from Merlot grapes harvested in the Matsumoto Plain of Nagano Prefecture. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and finished without oak barrels, it boasts the vibrant fruitiness and refreshing acidity characteristic of Merlot. While Merlot is typically aged in barrels, this wine was finished without barrel aging to allow you to enjoy the inherent qualities of high-quality Merlot. The aroma is simply magnificent, with a refined blend of plum, black berries, rose, and other scents that instantly transports you to the world of wine. On the palate, it is filled with beautiful acidity, silky tannins, and fruity flavors. It pairs exceptionally well with red meat; a thin slice of fillet steak served alongside this wine creates a magnificent pairing.
