Tannat-Norton is the kind of wine you won’t find elsewhere in Japan. Exhaustive comparative analyses of growing conditions abroad vs. here in Japan led to the importation of these two little known red grape varieties. Encouraging results have followed, with the wines from these grapes producing powerful, deeply colored, highly structured wines for ageing.
A mature example would be perfect with a classic Japanese wild board hotpot dish. For those in a more western frame of mind we’d recommend a venison or beef stew.
