Tortoise Creek

My pollen allergy is at the peak now.

 

 

1st Tortoise Creek Chardonnay Viognier 2016 

1080 yen

It is made from Chardonnay and Viognier grown in Languedoc.

I have been importing this when I opened Cave de Relax 20 years ago.

The taste used to be a very fruity style like a Chile wine at one time.

However it has changed to an elegant style.

I felt good fruits, nice citrus and fine minerals.

Well, it’s just my taste!

 

 

2nd Tortoise Creek Merlot Cabernet 2016 1030 yen

The red is also our long seller wine.

The tortoise family label is very pretty.

The taste is very authentic.

I felt concentrated-charming fruits, mild tannin and nice acidity.

I think it is similar to a good Bordeaux table wine.

It’s just my taste, too!
