Tears of Makoto was born from a pet nat we made in 2017 when we were just learning the art form, that we bottled too early and therefore got too pressurised. It is a bittersweet memory because before each bottle became a WMD it was the tastiest pet nat ever made but on the flip-side they were also really fun and exciting times. To save the situation Sam and Barry decanted the bottles that hadn't exploded and made an absolutely delicious rose, a rose so perfect we thought Makoto Nagano himself would shed a single tear.
Like all other previous releases, it dances the line between a darker style rose and super light red. Confusing for some but bloody yummy for anyone who wants a good time.
Tasting note
A nose of strawberry tart and brighton rock combined with a palate of wine gum, grevillea and plum sauce. An astounding compositional triumph of a wine best drunk naked.
