2022 Aperture Farm Under the Sun Flower
Description
WINEMAKER: Ryo Tanabe
REGION: Nagano, JP
VARIETY: Kyoho
VITICULTURE: Organic
Barrel aged Kyoho grown at Aperture Farm. Firm tannins and rich acidity creates structure similar to a fruit forward Gamay.
Ryo Tanabe moved from Tokyo to Tomi City, Nagano with the intention start growing organic vegetables and eventually grapes in 2011. His farm is located at an altitude of 600-800m and is conveniently nestled right next to Yutaka from Domaine Nakajima whom he currently shares a space for brewing.
Similar to Nakajima, the climate is cool and drier than the rest of Japan so European varieties are favoured amongst the mountains with plantings of Chenin, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. His own cultivation so far yields only a few hundred bottles each year, however, this year looks promising for the first substantial yield from his own vineyard.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
