Marufuji
Domaine Rubaiyat 2021
Domaine Rubaiyat 2021 is the flagship blend of Marufuji winery in Yamanashi. Petit Verdot, Merlot and Tannat form a fruit-led red wine that matures for 13 months in wooden barrels, with 60 % new barrels.
Ripe fruit, subtle spice and discreet toasted notes appear on the nose. The palate combines juicy fruit with tannins that are both firm and silky. The barrel influence complements the aromas and lends the wine a gentle spiciness.

Ageing potential is a guide, not a guarantee of shelf life. Development depends on the vintage, individual bottle and cool, dark storage at a steady temperature. Please ask us for advice on drinking maturity.
