Alternative Rouge 2023 [YMW2024.6]
This wine is made from a hybrid of Hokujun Amurensis and Muscat Hamburg grapes grown in Yamagata Prefecture, which are de-boned and crushed, then fermented for 60 days.
The vine is oared once every two days to promote the development of lactic acid bacteria in the upper part of the fermentation, which reduces the malic acid specific to the Amurensis grapes (wild grapes) and turns it into lactic acid. The vine is oared at low temperatures and with less oaring, the wine has a rich color but an alcohol content of 9%, giving it a light and rustic feel. "Alternative" = "something that remains the same, something that is inevitable and has no other choice."
The vibrant purple color suggests the wine's potential for aging. It can be enjoyed now and even after it has aged. Enjoy it while feeling the unchanging way of enjoying wine, "Alternative."
