RedHokujo
Alternative Rouge is a distinctive red wine from Yellow Magic Winery in Nanyo, Yamagata Prefecture, crafted from 100% Hokujo (北醇) — a Japanese hybrid of Amurensis and Muscat Hamburg. Named for 'unchanging things and the inevitability that leaves no other choice,' the wine is fermented on skins for 60 days with gentle battonage every two days to encourage natural malolactic fermentation. The result is a vibrant, deep-purple wine with only 9% alcohol, where wild-berry intensity meets lively acidity and a silky, barely-there tannic grip. No sulfites are added. The wine is enjoyable young and has clear potential for aging.
