Details and technical informations about Winery Okushiri's Merlot White.
Discover the grape variety: Valdiguié
Supple and fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, melted tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of red fruits (raspberry, cherry, strawberry), soft spices and floral notes. A light, thirst-quenching style, best drunk young, often by carbonic maceration. Grown in California as "Napa Gamay" and in Languedoc IGPs. An autochthonous south-west variety once ubiquitous in France, now in revival for modern cuvées.

The wine region of Hokkaidō-ken
Japan's northernmost island (43°N, Burgundy latitude), cool-climate region on the rise. Signature Pinot Noir tailored for cold: fine, silky reds with signature tart cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spice and a mineral touch, delicate tannins and taut freshness — compared to cool-vintage Burgundies. Kerner (German crossing) in aromatic muscat-scented white (citrus, peach, flowers). Also precise Chardonnay, supple Zweigelt.
The word of the wine: Basic wine
Dry, still wine intended for the production of sparkling wines (champagne, crémants, etc.). The basic wines undergo a second fermentation in the bottle for the production of carbon dioxide, and therefore of bubbles.
