Sinano Wine's everyday red blend from Shiojiri, Nagano, marrying Merlot with the native Muscat Bailey A grape grown in the winery's Kikyogahara district. Dry and medium-bodied with soft, gentle tannins and moderate acidity, it is sold in both 360ml and 720ml bottles and sits as an accessible, budget-friendly entry point below Sinano's single-varietal Kikyogahara wines and its 100%-Merlot 'Super Deluxe' bottling.
Sinano's most food-friendly red — Merlot's fruit and Muscat Bailey A's soft tannins make it Nagano's answer to a Tuesday-night table wine.
New to wine?
A gentle, easy-drinking everyday red — softer and more approachable than Sinano's single-varietal wines.
