1st Okuizumo Wine Sauvignon Blanc 2016 2592 yen

It is a very small production of the winery, only 884 bottles.

It is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown in the estate vineyard.

I felt very clear citrus and fine minerals.

I think it is like a very fine Albarino because I didn’t feel any green grass nuance Sauvignon Blanc often has.

I love this style of white wine very much.

I am sure it is one of the top range Sauvignon Blanc wines in Japan.

 

 

2nd Okuizumo Wine Kai Noir 2016 2700 yen

This red wine is only sold at the winery.

I bought this at the winery last year.

Kai Noir is a hybrid grape born from Cabernet Sauvignon and some Japanese grape variety.

You don’t often find a wine made from Kai Noir in the market.

It is a very good Kai Noir.

I felt very good acidities, fine fruits and elegant tannins.

It is very tasty.

I think it is the best Kai Noir I have tasted ever.

Surprise! Surprise!
