Sep. 19
I held a private Japan wine tasting party at my home.
We shared to cook dinner.
Sashimi
Goya Chample
Fried Chicken and Pitato
1st Kizan Sparkling Traditional Brut NV
This sparkling wine is made from 100% Koshu grown in Enzan Yamanashi by Champagne method.
I felt smooth babbles, rich fruits and beautiful acidity.
It is a truly delicious sparkling wine.
I love Kizan!
2nd
It is a collaboration project wine by Ms. Hayashi, who is a winemaker, and Ms. Takeda, who is a grape grower.
It is made from Koshu and Delaware grown in Yamanashi.
The grapes were macerated before the fermentation.
Well, it is an orange wine.
I felt a decent mouthfeel and very complex fruits flavor.
Also, I felt light tannin and very slight better.
I felt something similar taste and flavor of Radicon.
This one might be a little Radicon.
3rd Votano Wine Seba K4 Pinot Noir 2018
It is made from 100% Pinot Noir grown in Shiojiri Nagano.
It was a very tasty Pinot Noir.
It is not outstanding but is very well-balanced.
I felt very charming red berries, elegant acidity and comfortable mouthfeel.
Very good!
4th Chase the Grape Feild Blend 2021
It is the third vintage of Mr. Dai Naito, who is a winemaker in training.
It is made by mix cultured of Koshu and Muscat Bailey-A grown in Kofu with a little Chardonnay grown in Katsunuma.
The all grapes were macerated in two days before the fermentation.
Then grapes were fermented by natural yeast.
Even though the 8% low alcohol, I felt a rich body, rich fruits and comfortable mouthfeel.
I think it is a very good wine.
