From Chuo Winery's (Grace Winery) Misawa Vineyard on clayey volcanic ash soils, this second wine blends Merlot (54-63%), Cabernet Sauvignon (24-38%), Petit Verdot (14%), and Cabernet Franc (8%) from small lots vinified separately. Hand-picked grapes undergo gentle extraction, aged 18 months in French oak barrels, and bottled unfiltered without clarification at 13% alcohol to express Akeno's unique high-altitude terroir.
Tasting Notes
Medium ruby-purple with rich berry aromas, clean acidity, fine tannins, and energetic fruit purity. Smooth palate expands with rounded silky tannins and harmonious blueberry, raspberry, prune, violet, mint, cinnamon, cocoa, chocolate, and spice leading to pure, elegant, long finish.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 15-17°C after 45-60 minutes decanting; drink 2026+ as recommended. Pairs with beef, venison, or grilled red meats.
