A premium red wine made from Saperavi grapes grown in the coastal terroir of Amanohashidate, Kyoto. The 2022 vintage is aged for two years in an underground cellar, developing a fragrant toasted-oak character, soft acidity, and full-bodied richness. The result is a mellow, layered wine with a deep, lingering finish that showcases Saperavi's dark, intense color and structure.
Two years of underground cellar aging give this Saperavi a mellow depth rarely found in Japanese red wine.
