Description
// Merlot 63%, Cabernet Sauvignon 28%, Cabernet Franc 8%, and Petit Verdot 1%
"Aiming for a wine that provides a glimpse of the place where it is from, we have decided to combine the three second wines "Grace Merlot", "Grace Cabernet Sauvignon" and "Grace Cabernet Franc", whose varieties are listed on the front label, into a single wine from the 2017 vintage. This new wine is "Akeno", the name reflects our cherishment of its origin. It is a blend of three varieties from a single vineyard, or a "wine with a view" of where it is from. After rigorous selection in the vineyard and the winery, small lots were selected and vinified separately with scrupulous attention to details as well as gentle extraction. Each variety or lot was matured in French oak barrels and bottled without clarification or filtration." - Winemaker Notes
