Domaine Takahiko Nana Tsu Mori 2021

Pinot Noir from Hokkaido. 

From the Imporer

"Takahiko Soga’s wines are a phenomenon in Japan. The
wines from his tiny domaine at the northern tip of Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido are among the most sought after and hardest to find at Japanese restaurants and wine stores. Hundreds of volunteers from all over Japan come to the domaine to participate in the harvest, all drawn by the unique wines and unique philosophy of the domaine’s founder - and the incredible quality of his natural wines. Founded in 2010, the Domaine is focused on Pinot Noir and based in Yoichi Hokkaido, where the cool weather is very well-suited to the variety. Takahiko Soga had worked at other wineries in Japan and was inspired the natural wines of France. Farming is detail-oriented, regenerative, and hands-on; work in the cellar is simple and very low intervention. 100% whole cluster fermentation in large neutral resin tanks,
then aging in (mostly used) oak barrels."
