This red wine is made with 100% Black Queen grapes from the Matsumoto Plain in Nagano Prefecture. Aged in French oak barrels, it boasts a deep, rich purple color, concentrated fruit flavors, and a well-balanced tannin structure. The Black Queen grape is a red wine variety developed in Japan through crossbreeding. It is well-suited to the climate of Shinshu (Nagano Prefecture) and has been cultivated there for centuries, characterized by its deep blackish-purple clusters and acidity. It features a dark color, concentrated fruit flavors, and a full-bodied acidity, with spicy nuances such as cinnamon appearing in the finish. It is popular as a pairing for spicy Chinese cuisine and sweet and savory meat dishes. Its distinctive aroma and the fact that it is a variety unique to Japan have earned it high praise from wine lovers.
