Hokkaido Wine Furano Pinot Noir Hokkaido GI

Hokkaido Wine Region, Japan

Continental-climate Pinot Noir from Furano's snow-heavy terrain; pale ruby, red cherry, earth, mineral — Japan's coolest red wine expression from the island's most ambitious producers.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Hokkaido Pinot Noir with Hokkaido's signature lamb barbecue: a regional pairing of genuine identity.
• cheese: Hokkaido Pinot Noir with Hokkaido dairy: the island's emerging Camembert-style cheese with its local Pinot is a discovery.
• starter: Hokkaido Pinot's pale delicacy and acidity is among the few reds that can partner with tender raw squid.
• main: Cool-climate Hokkaido Pinot's delicate red cherry and mineral complement Ezo deer venison from the wild interior.
