Character & origin

The wine in detail

Ask us

L’Escalier Rouge 2022 was created for Takahata's 35th anniversary. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend comes from Takahata in Yamagata and spends 24 months in barrel. Takafumi Hara's specially designed label draws on his “Stairs” series.

Blackcurrant, blackberry and blueberry are accompanied by vanilla, toast, spice and chocolate. The medium-bodied red combines concentrated fruit with fine-grained tannins and a long finish.

The winery

Takahata

In southeastern Yamagata, Takahata works closely with the grape growers of its surrounding area. Since 1990, that relationship has produced a varied range of wines. Individual growing areas, the growers themselves and small-batch winemaking give the wines an origin that can be traced through to the bottle.
