Oh! No!

November will be over soon!

Then I am afraid if December will be coming.

Oh! No!

1st Asahimachi Wine Meister Selection Chardonnay 2014  3040 yen

I bought this at the winery when I visited this month.

It is the top cuvee white wine in the winery.

It is made from 100% Chardonnay grown in the estate vineyard.

After the fermentation, the wine was matured in French oak barrels.

I felt complex aroma, very rich fruits and fine acidity.

It like this comfortable-long after taste very much.

I am sure it is one of the top Chardonnay wines in Japan.

The total production is only 549 bottles.

 

 

2nd Asahimachi Wine Meister Selection Zweigelt Rebe 2014  3040 yen

I bought this at the winery, too.

It is the top cuvee red wine in the winery.

It is a really elegant Zweigelt Rebe.

I didn’t feel any “hybrid nuance”.

I love this very deep-rich fruits, fine-mild tannin and comfortable after taste.

It is something similar to fine Merlot.

It is one of the best Zweigelt Rebe wines I have ever tasted.

Fantastic!
