It was delicious again today.

 

 

 

1st NIKI Hills Winery Neiro 2022 3,600 yen

I purchased this one at the D&D wine shop in Azabu Juban.

It is a fruity wine made from 100% Bacchus from Yoichi, Hokkaido.

I felt good aroma of fresh grapes, crystal clear and pure and natural mouthfeel.

It also has a beautiful acid and mineral feeling.

Bacchus is friendly and good.

 

 

2nd Yamabe Winery Concord 2023 1,375 yen

I searched for a teaching material wine to use in the wine workshop that makes it easy to understand the characteristics of Labrusca.

After all, Concord is the easiest to understand. I tried to find it.

I was looking for a dry taste one because it is misunderstood as ” Labrusca = sweet”, but this is hard to find.

I finally found this Yamabe Winery from Nagano Matsumoto.

I felt usual aroma reminiscent of Fanta Grape (is it still there?).

However, when you put it in my mouth, the pure grape flavor spreads.

It tasted a little better than I expected, so I was going to take a sip of it, but I decided to drink it as it was with my meal.

Yamabe Winery is a good winery, isn’t it?
