No Wine Day

I cooked dinner.
Yakiniku B.B.Q.
It’s one of the most favorite dinner for daimajo-sama.
1st Camino Iberico Viura NV 1350 yen
It is made for 100% Viura grown in Rioja Spain.
It is produced by the stemless tank with the cold maceration.
I felt fresh fruits, clean citrus and fine minerals.
The taste was really pure and natural.
I love such style white wine very much!
2nd Camino Iberico Tempranillo NV 1350 yen
The style of Tempranillo made in Rioja used to be dark, heavy and long matured before.
Then I have thought long time that the taste of the grape was dark and heavy, too.
However, this one is very fresh, light and elegant.
I heard from some winemaker in Spain that Tempranillo is very fruity and charming grape variety.
The style is similar to Merlot or Grenache.
Because the light red wine was not popular before, the winemaker managed to produce heavy wine form Tempranillo.
I don’t like a heavy and high alcohol red wine so much.
I like this charming red wine very much.
