1st Soleil Wine Classic White 2020  1500 yen

Soleil Wine is a small family-owned winery in Yamanashi.

It is made from 100% Koshu grown in Yamanashi.

The style is simple but also very pure and clean.

I can find the wine making philosophy of Mr. & Mrs. Suzuki, who are the owner & wine maker.

I felt pure fruits, nice acidity and fine minerals.

May I request one thing, I want to taste this one more low alcohol version.

I think this one needs not 12% alcohol degree.

 

 

2nd Takeda Winery Rouge 2019  1610 yen

Takeda Winery is one of the oldest winery & vineyards in Japan.

It is made from 100% Muscat Bailey-A grown in Yamagata.

The style is truly pure and natural.

I felt rich fruits, fine red acidity, silky tannin and a long after taste.

I also felt a very good structure even though a low alcohol ( 10%).

It is a very good sample of fine Bailey-A.

What a nice red wine is this!
