Situated at a higher altitude in a cooler climate compared to Shiojiri and Kikyogahara, renowned Merlot-producing regions, Villa d'Est vineyards yield grapes with a pronounced acidity and clarity of taste.
The carefully tended grapes go through thermovinification in French oak barrels and subsequently aged in French oak for approximately a year and a half before being bottled and further aged prior to release.
The wine boasts a premium finish that seamlessly melds spicy notes with an elegant fruit profile. It offers a robust yet velvety texture, showcasing both softness and depth in its firm flavour profile.
