Then I cooked dinner.

1st Aruga Branca Clareza 2016 Sample Tasting

I got this sample bottle of new vintage of Aruga Branca not yet released.

Oh! What a delicious Koshu is this!

It’s a tremendously pure Koshu wine.

I felt very pure and clean fruits, citrus and minerals.

I felt I tasted as if a very fine mineral water.

I am sure it has an essential of Koshu grape.

Tasty! Tasty!

 

 

2nd Arugano Monte 2016 Sample Tasting

The red wine is also not released yet.

It is made from 100% Muscat Bailey-A barrel matured.

It has very concentrated red fruits, very concentrated red fruits and very concentrated red fruits.

I didn’t feel any red candy nuance nor metallic flavor, which some Bailey-A often has.

It was so tasty. It was just my favorite taste.

I am looking forward to releasing this fine Muscat Bailey-A.
