A full-bodied red made from 100% Zweigelt grapes grown in Yoichi town, Hokkaido, aged for an extended period in oak barrels. One of Yoichi Winery's longtime bestsellers, the long barrel maturation knits fruit character, acidity, and tannin into harmonious balance.
This is Yoichi Winery's longtime bestseller for good reason — extended oak aging knits the Zweigelt's fruit, acidity, and tannin into a full-bodied red that rewards richer, more involved cooking rather than simple fare.
New to wine?
A fuller, more structured red than Yoichi Winery's other bottlings — a good pick if you enjoy some oak character and tannin alongside the fruit.
Food Pairings
The producer recommends pairing with dishes that have a bit more depth — sautéed mushrooms, braised beef, or grilled eel (unagi kabayaki) — rather than simple, light fare.
When to drink it
Dinners with heartier dishes — braised meats, mushroom-based cooking, or grilled eel; a solid gift for red wine lovers.
