Takeda Winery “Domaine Takeda Bailey A” 2022

The 2022 Domaine Takeda Bailey A Vielle Vigne, an oak-aged red wine made from old-vine Muscat Bailey A grapes, presents aromas of licorice, red fruits, leather, and hints of oak and tobacco. On the palate, the aromas intertwine with hints of vanilla and cedar, creating a complex and nuanced profile. This dry medium-bodied wine features medium acidity and tannins, culminating in a well-structured wine.

To understand the Muscat Bailey A (a 1927-bred Japanese grape), the Bailey A Vielle Vigne, crafted by one of the pioneers directly responsible for the elevated quality of the Muscat Bailey A, is an important bottle to discover.

This wine is best savored at 15-18 °C, where its complex character and depth can be fully appreciated.
