Jul. 1
July has come.
We are already in the second half of the year.
I was very busy today after I came back from Kyushu yesterday.
However, I cooked dinner, Temaki-Sushi.
I did a good job!
1st Ajimu Wine Albarino 2020 3000 yen
After the business trip to Kyushu, I wanted to taste some fine Kyushu wine.
Then I chose this one.
It is made from 100% Albarino grown in the estate vineyard in Oita Ajimu.
It is one of my most favorite Japan white wines.
I felt rich tropical fruits, good acidity and very fine minerals.
It was very good for Temaki-Sushi today.
2nd Hamada Vineyard Chardonnay 2020 5500 yen
After I tasted a fine Kyushu (south) white wine, I wanted to taste some fine Hokkaido (north) white wine.
Then I chose this one.
Hamada Vineyard is a small family winery established in 2016.
Relax Wine is the sales agent of the winery.
I showed this Chardonnay at Marubishi Food Trade Show yesterday and the day after yesterday.
It got very, very good reputations.
It is made from 100% Chardonnay grown in the estate vineyard in Mikasa Hokkaido.
It is fermented by wild yeasts in the oak cask.
I love the deep fruits, super fine citrus and outstandingly nice minerals.
The taste is truly pure and natural.
I felt amazingly beautiful elegance.
It is the second release vintage.
I think Hamada Vineyard Chardonnay has one of the top class quality of Japan Chardonnay.
Amazing! Amazing!
