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!
