SILVER OSAKO Merlot 2019 (Red)

From the Tohoku region of Japan, EDELWEIN presents SILVER OSAKO Merlot 2019 (Red), a 12.5% ABV red wine crafted from Merlot grapes cultivated in this unique terroir.

The 2019 vintage was characterized by a warmer-than-average year with lower rainfall and a tendency towards dryness. The harvest season was blessed with favorable weather, leading to the fruition of high-quality grapes. This wine boasts a sweet aroma reminiscent of red berries, and on the palate, a pleasant astringency tightens the overall structure, creating a well-balanced dry, medium-bodied wine.

This bottle offers a direct taste of the individuality of grapes nurtured by the terroir of Osako, Iwate, and its favorable climatic conditions. It is a solid choice for those interested in Japanese red wines and for anyone seeking a Japanese wine with distinct, inherent qualities.
