Red wine from Japan — Niigata, Japan
PINOT NOIR 2023 (Red)
LES CINQ winery / Niigata, Japan

About this wine
From Niigata Prefecture, LES CINQ winery presents PINOT NOIR 2023 (Red), their 2023 vintage red wine. This bottle reflects the terroir of the Chubu region, crafted as a dry, medium-bodied wine with 13% alcohol and a 750ml volume, perfect for those seeking specific vintages and producers.
The most distinctive feature of this wine is that the PINOT NOIR grown on their own estate is bottled directly without aging in barrels. This allows the inherent character of the grape to be expressed directly, and official information indicates an elegant and delicate aroma with gentle tannins on the palate.
The pure fruitiness and soft mouthfeel, achieved through a winemaking process without barrel aging, truly shine when paired with food that highlights the natural flavors of ingredients. You can experience the unique charm of this red wine when paired with dishes that have delicate umami, such as salads with fruits like figs and persimmons served with cheese, sautéed mushrooms, or bonito carpaccio.
