Jul. 6
I took an annual physical examination.
After three no wine days, here we drink!
1st Oku-Izumo Vineyard Chardonnay Unwooded 2015 2550 yen
It made form 100% Chardonnay grown in the estate vineyard.
It is fermented in stainless tank by the cold maceration.
I like very much these very nice fruits, citrus and minerals.
How fine Chardonnay is this!
It is produced only 1685 bottles.
You can buy this at Cave de Relax now.
2nd Oku-Izumo Vineyard Red NV 2000 yen
The red is made from Japanese hybrid grapes and Seibel.
I didn’t feel any hybrid nuance but felt very elegant red berries.
The taste is similar to Barbera in north Italy, I think.
It is a really elegant Japanese red wine.
Oku-Izumo produces only very fine wine.
Tasty! Tasty! Tasty!
