The Old Name was Tortoise Creek.

Jan. 20

I went to the central Tokyo on business.

I saw less people as usual.

 

 

 

1st Tortues en Crique Chardonnay-Viognier 2020  1100 yen

The old name of this one was Tortoise Creek.

It is one of the longest seller wines in Relax Wine since 1999.

It is made from Chardonnay and Viognier grown in Languedoc.

I felt cool fruits and solid minerals.

The taste was clean, crisp and dry.

The time will grow on the taste, I think.

 

 

2nd Tortues en Crique Syrah-Mourvèdre 2020   1100 yen

It is made from Syrah and Mourvèdre grown in Languedoc, too.

Long time ago, the style of this one was dark, heavy and concentrated.

However, the style has changed.

I felt charming fruits, a lot of berries, nice acidity and mild tannin.

It is a charming style of red wine.

Tasty!
