Cheers with Higuchi at the opening ceremony! Also working on “Lake Bottom Aged Wine”!
The lake bottom maintains a constant temperature, pressure, and darkness, making it the perfect place for wine aging. It is said that aging in a cradle at the bottom of a lake surrounded by gentle waves allows the wine to mature faster than in normal storage due to the slight vibrations. At the ceremony, Musashi Winery's flagship wine, ``Kokiko Ogawa 2021,'' will be brewed and aged for a year on the bottom of Lake Miyazawa.
You can look forward to seeing how it tastes after pulling it out.
Date: April 2024, 3 (Sat) 16:11-
Location: metsä Aukio (opening ceremony), Lake Miyazawa (wine sinking at the bottom of the lake)
