The Winemaking of Koyama Wines is quite simple, because of minimum intervention during winemaking. All the grapes are hand harvested, sorted again in the winery and fermented in open top fermenters with wild yeast. After the fermentation, wines are aged in French Oak barrels for about 18 months, and during the barrel aging, Malo-Lactic fermentation naturally happens. Then wines are bottled with no fining or filtration with minimum addition of Sulfur.
Aged in French Oak barrels (100% new) for 18 months. No fining or filtration is applied.
The colour is very dark and dense. On the nose, kirsch liqueurs, smoked meats, bees wax, dried dates and also some spices such as cloves and cinnamon. On the palate, the tannins from the skin, stems and seeds all combine to form a rich tapestry of flavours.
The wine is very young and while it can be enjoyed now it will need time to realize its full potential. Cellaring for 10 years and beyond will show it true pedigree. Good drinking now, or can be cellared for another 5 years.
