Product description
Made from Merlot grown in our own vineyards, this wine is aged in oak barrels for nine months after fermentation.
The aroma of black fruits such as cassis is mixed with the aroma of the barrel. The astringency and acidity are just right, and there is also a soft umami flavor. This wine can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes.

Frequently asked questions
If the front label says "Izu Wine," it means that "the grapes used to make the wine were grown and harvested in the Izu region, " and " the wine was brewed using those grapes at a winery in the Izu region ."
In other words, wine labeled "Izu wine" is made primarily from grapes grown in Izu and is produced in Izu, truly expressing the "climate of Izu."
* When displaying a place name (such as "Izu Wine"), at least 85% of the grapes used must be harvested within the area indicated by that place name.
At Nakaizu Winery, we define "sweet" and "dry" wines as follows:
Sweet:
This type of wine has a rich sweetness that spreads throughout the mouth and continues to have a voluminous sweetness until the finish . For example, "Izu Extra Sweet" and "Sparkling Wine Sweet" have a distinct sweetness.
Neutral :
It has a neutral positioning, with a "modest sweetness (hard to detect)." It has almost no sweetness in terms of sugar content, giving it a refreshing impression.
Dry :
This wine has a drier impression . Rather than being "dry," it has a nuance of being " crisp " or " clean in the mouth ." After drinking it, you may feel a refreshing, light dryness in your mouth.
The "body" of a wine refers to the strength, weight, and satisfying taste of the wine . It also includes what sommeliers call the "texture," or the " feel " when you put it in your mouth.
Light Body:
It's light and easy to drink.
Full Body:
This type of sake has a rich flavor and is satisfying to drink. It tends to have a complex flavor with strong tastes in the mouth, such as astringency and acidity.
