Konzelmann Sushi Red 2011

A red wine named 'Sushi' may sound a bit odd, like 'A Boy Named Sue' - but just like that famous poem that became a famous song, this wine has its feet firmly planted in two worlds. On the one hand it's a mouthfilling Merlot with pure berry fruit notes, while on the other, it's a wine with no tannin and a savoury component that makes it perfectly suited to umami flavours, and consequently an ideal match for sushi.
