Vinification & Vine History
-
Vintage:
The 2023 vintage was notably wet, resulting in more vigorous growth and healthier grapes than the previous year.

Vineyard:
The 1.8-hectare Mirae Vineyard was established in 1986, with the first harvest including ungrafted clone 6 and old-vine clone 5 from vines planted around 1988.

- Color: A medium red.
- Aromas: Attractive notes of spice, cedar, baked cherries, and forest earth.
- Palate: A well-balanced, medium-bodied wine with ripe tannins, balanced acidity, and an elegant finish.
