TOA200 KAZE 2020 (Red)

Introducing TOA200 KAZE 2020, a red wine from WAKAYAMA YUASA winery, crafted with a blend centered around Hokuto no Shizuku, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, aged for 6 months in premium French oak barrels from Sugamoro. This 2020 vintage harmoniously combines grapes from Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, with Petit Verdot from Yamanashi and Cabernet Franc from Nagano. It's a dry, medium-bodied wine with 12% alcohol and a 720ml volume.

The true essence of this red wine lies in its design: not confined to a single origin or varietal, it layers three grapes grown in different locations, allowing them to meld over time in Sugamoro barrels. The resulting deep flavor profile, with its well-balanced bouquet of elegant oak aromas, soft tannins, and smooth acidity, along with its high polyphenol content known for its antioxidant properties, all stem from this specific method and composition.

For a leisurely evening with red wine or a night featuring meat dishes, consider this wine not for its other cuvées or vintages, but for the unique blend ratio and the fact of its 6-month barrel aging, specific to this 2020 expression.
