SANSAN winery ／ Nagano, Japan
About this wine
This Château Sansan Merlot 2023 (Red) from SANSAN winery is a dry, medium-bodied Japanese wine from Nagano Prefecture. With an alcohol content of 12.5%, it's a great choice for those seeking a wine made from grapes cultivated with yield restrictions in their own vineyards.
It is made with 100% Merlot from their own vineyards, where yields were restricted. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged in French oak barrels. It offers aromas reminiscent of blueberries, conifers, and cinnamon, complemented by a well-balanced structure of clean acidity, rich fruitiness, and fine tannins.
This wine pairs well with meat dishes such as beef stew and steak. It's an excellent selection when you're looking for a Merlot from Nagano Prefecture with the complexity derived from barrel aging.
