NARA Rouge Pinot 2023 (Red)

While it's a red wine named "Pinot," its composition, featuring not only Pinot Noir but also the white varieties Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris, immediately catches the eye. This 750ml red wine, a 2023 vintage of NARA Rouge Pinot, is made from grapes planted in 2018 in Tenri City, Nara Prefecture, cultivated organically, and finished as a dry, medium-bodied wine with 11.5% alcohol.

When you place this bottle on your table, what comes to mind isn't the typical image of a red wine based on its name, but rather the unique combination of grapes from the Tenri vineyard. The time spent contemplating this design, with red and white varieties in the same bottle, is filled with a quiet surprise, a departure from predetermined flavor profiles.

As you gaze into the glass, considering the specific details of how grapes grown organically in a vineyard planted in 2018 have transformed into this 2023 vintage, the reasons for choosing this NARA Rouge Pinot 2023 for your table today quietly take shape.
