NIKUSUMIKA WACHU

A Bordeaux-style blended wine positioned as the flagship of Kenzo Estate. Purple is a color that signifies nobility. Here, it symbolizes high-quality grapes. Bell is an abbreviation for 'bunches of grapes.' In other words, 'Purple Bell' represents the very appearance of a winery's vineyard where grapes grow in abundance. It is also reminiscent of the delicate Rindo flower that hangs like a purple bell, possessing a supple and graceful charm.

The morning dew left on the grape leaves by the morning mist that descended on the fields before dawn shines beautifully in the sunlight. This white wine from Kenzo Estate, crafted by Heidi Barrett, is the first Sauvignon Blanc with such transparency. It combines freshness and richness, and has been honored as the Best of Sauvignon Blanc in the United States for three consecutive years.

This red wine was born in 2009, a year blessed with favorable weather that allowed for a rich harvest of exquisite Cabernet Franc. The name 'Asuka', which means 'fragrance of tomorrow', perfectly captures the rich flavor profile of Cabernet Franc. In 2018, it was also selected as one of the top 100 wines in America. The term 'Asuka' carries the meaning of a pure land or sacred place, which also reflects the quality and purity of these grapes.

This red wine is highly regarded as a Bordeaux right bank style primarily based on Merlot. The name 'Purple' is inspired by Utamaro, an Edo period ukiyo-e artist known by the alias 'Murasaki-ya'. Just as the diverse use of colors from lavender to adzuki red had expression, this long-aging wine quietly embodies the virtue of subtly changing its aroma and flavor as it matures.

The color of indigo dye is deeper and more vivid compared to purple. This wine, primarily made from Cabernet Sauvignon, is a masterpiece that allows you to vividly experience the pure concentration of the grapes. Just like indigo dye, which becomes more vibrant with washing and changes color over the years, this wine has a delicate expression that transforms smoothly with long-term aging.
