1st Yamazaki Winery Forest Sauvignon Blanc 2018   4520 yen + tax

I think it is the best Sauvignon Blanc in Japan I have ever tasted.

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

I felt outstandingly rich-elegant fruits, tremendously excellent acidity and fabulously fine minerals.

It is my best Sauvignon Blanc in these years, for me.

I want to compare this with some super expensive Loire Sauvignon Blanc.

 

 

2nd Grande Polaire Yoichi Pinot Noir 2017  4600 yen + tax

It is made from 100% Pinot Noir grown at Hirotsu Vineyard in Yoichi Hokkaido.

Even though the color and taste is very light, I felt good acidity and charming red berries.

I think 13% alcohol degree is too much high in this area.

I suppose too much technic the winery used.

Because I could see the very fine grapes, this wine has a big potential, I think.
