About "tlass SEA CELLAR"
＜2024 1st Edition＞ is the first subsea-aged wine created and brought to market by the sustainable subsea wine cellar "tlass SEA CELLAR".
"tlass SEA CELLAR" is a membership-based subsea wine cellar—still rare in the world—that "sustainably ages subsea" wines entrusted by customers in harmony with the natural environment, based on subsea aging research in the rich waters of Setouchi Town at the southernmost tip of Amami Oshima, a World Natural Heritage site.
The wines featured as return gifts this time are three specially selected varieties—sparkling, white, and red—based on proprietary research, aged under the sea from December 2023 to June 2024.
