『 FRANCK MULLER × SUBRINA 』 Collaboration Special Wine Vintage 2022
Vintage 2022 Act6
This collaboration was born from the resonance of passion in two distinct fields: FRANCK MULLER and SUBRINA. Following the success of the first edition, "Vintage 2021 ," this second edition features special specifications with evolved taste and appearance from its predecessor.
FRANCK MULLER has astonished people with its extraordinary ideas throughout the long history of Swiss mechanical watches, creating timepieces imbued with philosophical thoughts that connect people and time. On the other hand, SUBRINA is a brand born from an unconventional idea of aging wine in an underwater cellar, breaking away from tradition.
The series unfolds as the pursuit of originality by both parties resonates. Vintage 2022 is the second chapter in this series.
A Taste Where Time and Sea Converge
SUBRINA ages Shiraz wine, created with a boutique winery in Stellenbosch, South Africa, in an underwater cellar near Hirizo Beach off Nakagi, Minamiizu, known for Japan's clearest waters.
Vintage 2022 is a vintage characterized by the robustness unique to Stellenbosch, blessed with a warm and stable climate, and a well-balanced structure. By aging this red wine for about half a year at a depth of approximately 15m underwater, it acquires new expressions in its taste under an environment different from that on land.
An elegant aroma spreads the moment it is opened. A smooth, mellow mouthfeel with fresh fruitiness, layered with complex notes reminiscent of ripe black cherry, roasted plum, as well as cacao, licorice, and forest floor. It is a wine that leaves a lasting impression with its coexistence of transparency and concentration.
Limited Blue Package Symbolizing the Second Edition
This limited edition package features FRANCK MULLER's iconic Byzantine numerals and a blue base reminiscent of the beautiful ocean colors.
The bottle retains the natural texture created by underwater aging, with each piece having a unique appearance. The FRANCK MULLER logo combined with the natural texture evokes the passage of time and the characteristic of underwater aging. It is also recommended as a gift for someone special.

About FRANCK MULLER
FRANCK MULLER was born in 1958 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, a city famous for its watchmaking industry. Captivated by watches and their mechanisms, he developed a passion for watchmaking from an early age and nurtured his talent. In 1983, he envisioned the dream-like concept of incorporating complex mechanisms, previously only found in pocket watches, into wristwatches. Since then, he has continuously unveiled numerous new patents, including the world's first complex wristwatches such as the tourbillon. In 1992, FRANCK MULLER established his own brand, embarking on a new path to enable as many watch enthusiasts as possible to wear his watch creations. Since then, he has been creating works of art that re-emphasize the precious connection between people and time, rather than merely making watches as tools.

About SUBRINA
In 2011, SUBRINA challenged the new possibility of underwater-aged wine and established an underwater cellar in Minamiizu, Shizuoka Prefecture. The unique environment of this region, with its rough seas and low water temperatures, imparts a distinct character to the wine, adding depth and mellowness to its taste.
After repeated trials to find the optimal wine for underwater aging, SUBRINA created a Shiraz red wine in collaboration with carefully selected boutique wineries in South Africa.
Wine is not merely a luxury item; it is a special entity that changes with time and connects people. SUBRINA strives to enrich every moment. Please enjoy the taste of time nurtured by the sea with this special moment.
