Osamu Uchida Melodie Haut-Medoc 2020

“Born in Hiroshima, Osamu Uchida launched his small winery in 2015 with 0.6 hectares of late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon in Cissac-Médoc, but he now farms three hectares, with Merlot since 2019 and some white varieties that he planted in 2020. Farming is attentively organic and now biodynamic, with very low levels of sulfur dioxide and a minimalistic approach to vinification (including some whole bunches) in the winery. Aromatic, sensual and just a little wild, these original, characterful wines offer a different vision of what Bordeaux can be.”
