Tasting notes

Appearance

Bright, pale lemon hue.

Nose

Memorable fruity and floral aroma, centered on aromatic fruits with hints of pear, white peach, lychee, melon, acacia honey, basil blossom, herbal tea, and white roses.

Palate

With a slightly higher alcohol content and a solid body, this wine is fresh with balanced acidity, and the fruit flavors shine through. Its dryness is crisp and clean, making it refreshing without any heaviness. Aromatic notes linger, pairing beautifully with Japanese-inspired dishes. When enjoyed with Japanese cuisine, the floral bouquet of the grapes enhances the meal, while the bright acidity adds to the appetite appeal.

Food pairing

Ideal as an aperitif or with lighter chicken dishes, cooked vegetable dishes, green asparagus salad, marinated vegetables with balsamic, spinach ohitashi, whitebait salad, and nanbanzuke.
