Character & origin

The wine in detail

Ask us

Wagatsuma Shigeharu 2021 from Takahata is made from Bijou Noir. The grapes come from contract grower Shigeharu Wagatsuma's vineyard in Takahata, Yamagata. After fermentation, the red wine matures for 27 months in oak, with 33% new barrels.

Blackcurrant, plum and raspberry meet delicate spice. The palate offers concentrated fruit and powerful tannins. Its medium-to-full body and long barrel ageing give it depth and a spicy character.

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.
