Bellwood Vineyard

May 29

I cooked dinner, Temaki-Sushi.

 

 

All of the fishes were wild and fresh, not sea farm or frozen.

Very good!

 

 

 

1st Bellwood Vineyard Collection Classique Koshu 2020  2200 yen

Bellwood Vineyard is a new winery in Kaminoyama Yamagata.

Mr. Suzuki, the owner & winemaker, used to be the winemaker of Asahimachi Wine.

It is made from 100% Koshu grown in Yamagata.

The Koshu grape in Yamagata is northern limited one of the variety.

I felt sharp acidity, pure fruits and very good minerals.

I think this one has the sharpest acidity in the Koshu wines.

Also, the rich body and elegant mouthfeel is a top class in all of the Koshu wines.

Very good! Very good!

 

 

2nd Bellwood Vineyard Collection Classique Muscat Bailey-A 2020  2200 yen

The red wine is very good, too.

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

I could see very fresh and very natural face of the grapes.

I felt seamless tannin, beautiful red berries and very comfortable mouthfeel.

The style is really pure an natural.

I never found any off-flavor.

It is a top class of Muscat Bailey-A wines, I think.

Tasty! Tasty!
