CABERNET FRANC Taru Jukusei 2023 (Red)

From Vin Vi, "CABERNET FRANC Taru Jukusei 2023(Red)" is a dry, full-bodied Japanese wine with 12% alcohol, made from 100% Cabernet Franc harvested from their own vineyards in Takamori Town, Minamishinshu, Nagano Prefecture. It has been certified as "GI Nagano Premium" at the 15th GI Nagano, meeting the quality standards for Nagano Prefecture wines, and marks the winery's first commemorative vintage.

In winemaking, it was aged for 8 months using two types of barrels: American oak and French oak. It offers a complex aroma reminiscent of blueberry, mocha, and mint, along with vibrant fruit flavors like cassis and pomegranate. Furthermore, a rich acidity and silky tannins are intricately integrated, resulting in a soft and pleasant texture overall.

The harmony brought about by the estate's own grapes that express the land's character and careful barrel aging provides a clear individuality unique to this 2023 vintage, making it a choice for tables that value solid quality.
