Product Features

This red wine has a rich flavor from the attack, a firm fruitiness, and rich tannins.

exterior

A brilliant ruby color reminiscent of dark-skinned fruit, with a hint of light pink at the edges. It is highly viscous and has an alcohol content of 12.5%.

scent

First of all, you can strongly taste the blueberry. With a normal red wine, the attack is dominated by the aroma of blueberry or other fruits, but in this wine, the spicy aroma of nutmeg and coriander hits your nose at the same time, or even before that.

Swirling it, the aroma of red fruits like plums emerges, with a hint of caramel in the background and a smoky note from the oak barrels.

Taste

I would describe it as "well-mellowed tannins." The tannins are firm, but not unpleasant. The acidity is mellow. The sweetness is heavy, but subtle. It's also fruity. The finish is long, lasting about 15 seconds.

Awards

Winner of the Bronze Award at the Japan Wine Competition 2024

The Japan Wine Competition 2024 is a competition for Japanese wines made from 100% domestically grown grapes. It has been held since 2003 and will mark its 20th anniversary in 2024.

The judging was conducted by a panel of 30 judges, including famous sommeliers and experts, and our "Izu Petit Verdot 2020" won the bronze award.

Recipe Notes

Delivery Information: Summer Season Request

We strongly recommend using refrigerated delivery to maintain the freshness of your product.

During the hot summer months ( approximately June to September ), we strongly recommend using refrigerated shipping to maintain the quality of your wine.

Wine is a drink that is very sensitive to temperature changes. If it is stored in an environment above 25°C for a long period of time, the heat can cause it to lose its flavor, leak, or oxidize.

By using our refrigerated delivery service, we can keep your wine at the optimum temperature until it reaches you, allowing you to enjoy its original flavor.

How to use refrigerated delivery

When placing your order, please select " refrigerated delivery " as the shipping method.
Refrigerated delivery requires an additional fee in addition to the regular shipping fee. For details, please refer to the information on the Specified Commercial Transactions Act .

If you select standard shipping

If you choose standard shipping, we may not be able to offer a refund or exchange for wine that has deteriorated in quality due to temperature changes during shipping. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in order to protect your valuable wine.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

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.
