Birichino Rokurokubi & Inugami 2022
The name and label design are a nod to a Bakemono Zukushi handscroll, painted in the Edo period of 18th and 19th century Japan. âIt was either this or Run GMC!â hoots John Locke. The Cinsault is personified by the floating head on the label, with the MourvĂšdre and Grenache represented by the anchoring wolf. Each batch was vinified separately. The Cinsault and MourvĂšdre fermented wild in stainless steel with 10-15% stems, while the Grenache component saw a touch more whole-bunch inclusion at 20%. The wines matured in old wood for eight months before blending and bottling unfined and unfiltered.
Comparing Birichinoâs two RhĂŽne-inspired blendsâScylla being the otherâ winemaker Alex Krause describes Rokurokubi & Inugami as the darker, deeper, more structured wine.
