DEEPER DEEPER is a barrel-aged natural red from Natan Winery in Miyoshi City, Tokushima, blending Yama Sauvignon (approx. 65%) and Campbell Early (approx. 35%) grapes sourced from Iwate Prefecture. The two varieties are co-destemmed and crushed into an open-top tank, hand-plunged for two weeks to draw out color and aroma, then pressed and aged roughly eight months in French oak before bottling, followed by about a year of cellar rest. Fermented with wild yeast and bottled without added sulfites, fining, or filtration, it pours a faintly orange-tinged raspberry-red and opens with a rich, brown-sugar-plum nose layered with cinnamon and cumin spice, leading into a palate gripped by bright acidity, ripe-plum fruit, and a cocoa-like depth that lingers through a long, complex finish. Winemaker Namika Inoshita named the wine for the pull of being drawn ever deeper by wine itself — a charming aroma invites you in, fresh red fruit bursts in the mouth, and a wild, woodsy complexity follows. (Currently available as the 2022 vintage.)
One of Natan's most structured reds — French oak and wild yeast turn Yama Sauvignon and Campbell Early into something genuinely contemplative.
New to wine?
A barrel-aged natural red with real depth — approachable tannins but a complex, evolving palate that rewards a slow sip.
Food Pairings
The oak-derived spice and cocoa depth make this a natural match for grilled or glazed meats and umami-rich dishes, as well as aged cheeses and dark-chocolate desserts. Best enjoyed at cool room temperature to let the fruit open up.
When to drink it
Slow autumn or winter evenings, natural wine dinners, and moments meant for savoring something complex.
