Atsushi Suzuki took the vineyard over from conventional growers and has moved it steadily toward organic farming: grass cover, no tillage, Bordeaux mixture as the main treatment, and the domaine's own wines made only from the parcels farmed without synthetic sprays. The cellar is a renovated early-Shōwa stone warehouse once used for apples; there is no pump and no destemmer, only a small basket press, barrels and resin tanks. Fermentation is with wild yeast, nothing is added but a minimal dose of sulfites at bottling, and the wines are never chaptalised or acidified. One of the quiet benchmarks of Yoichi's natural-wine generation, made in tiny quantities and hard to find even within Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTomo Rouge is the domaine's signature red: 100% Zweigelt from its own vineyard, picked late and fully ripe, macerated for around thirty days, then pressed and rested twelve months in old barrels. Cuvée 18 is a separate lot of the 2022, bottled on its own under its cuvée number — the same black fruit and herbal nuance, with a gentle, elegant frame. A rare chance to taste the domaine's Zweigelt lot by lot. Sulfites only at bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVintage: 2022\u003cbr\u003eCuvée: Tomo Rouge Cuvée 18\u003cbr\u003eProducer: Domaine Atsushi Suzuki\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Yoichi, Hokkaido, Japan\u003cbr\u003eGrape: Zweigelt\u003cbr\u003eABV: 12.5%\u003cbr\u003eVolume: 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Atsushi Suzuki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48450625077556,"sku":"BJ-JP-DS-TRC-22","price":277.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0451\/8964\/files\/1789541600_suzuki_tomo_rouge_cuvee18_2022_bj_v2.png?v=1789541691","url":"https:\/\/bottlesjapan.com\/en-us\/products\/domaine-atsushi-suzuki-tomo-rouge-cuvee-18-2022-750ml","provider":"Bottles Japan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
