IZU NO OKA prologue-red 2024 (Red)

The IZU NO OKA prologue-red 2024 before you is a red wine from NAKAIZU winery, made by co-fermenting two red grape varieties grown in their own vineyards in a single tank, followed by barrel aging and bottling. This wine, born from the choice to blend red grapes harvested in Shizuoka Prefecture in the same tank, embodies the local environment as it matured over time in barrels.

The fusion of multiple personalities, unseen in single varietals, within the tank, and the very fact of its barrel aging experience, are the defining characteristics of this wine. Knowing the background of how each element was brought together and bottled allows you to feel a tangible connection, inspiring you to closely examine the liquid before you.

Open this wine on a night when you want to reflect, imagining the land of Izu surrounded by rich nature, as you gaze into your wine glass. You can spend a quiet and fulfilling moment, savoring this wine alongside various dishes, from seafood to mountain vegetables, contemplating the unique winemaking process of this region.
