Red wine from Japan — Toyama, Japan
FRANCIS FLAN 2014&2015 (Red)
HORAI-SAN winery / Toyama, Japan

About this wine
From HORAI-SAN winery, the oldest winery in the Hokuriku region, located in Toyama Prefecture, comes "FRANCIS FLAN 2014&2015 (Red)", a Cabernet Franc red wine crafted by the winery. Sourced from the Chubu region, this wine is presented as a medium-bodied, dry style with an alcohol content of 12%.
At this historic producer, founded in 1927, the harvested Cabernet Franc undergoes barrel aging. This wine was created by focusing on the grape's somewhat stern character, imbuing it with a narrative name that evokes the image of tears disappearing into the ocean's tide.
This red wine, embodying the narrative derived from the grape's firm personality, is a choice that invites consideration of the context, including the journey of its production region and its maker, all backed by the heritage of the oldest winery in Hokuriku.
