Today’s Wine
Chase the Grape Identity 2024 4,200 yen
The grapes grown by Takashi Yano in Yamanashi were transported to Nara Prefecture by Dai Naito by car himself, and the wine was produced at Kitani Wine.
It is fermented with wild yeast from 81% Chardonnay, 12% Siegarebe, 5% Aligote and 2% Müller-Thurgau, vinified without sulfur, and bottled without filtration and clarification.
I felt thick fruits flavor, wide acidity, mild but presence minerality.
Immediately after the release, the firmness was noticeable, but now that I have come here, it has calmed down.
The elegance of Mr. Yano’s Chardonnay and the sweet aroma unique to Siegerrebe are well matched.
This is delicious.
Maybe it’s the best Chase the grape I’ve ever had?
By the way, today is my 66th birthday.
I have always traveled with daimajo-sama on my birthday, but that is not possible with her now that she is living in bed.
Today is a celebration in bed.
It seems that she can understand the wine her son made.
She toasted through the tube a little.
It was also a good birthday for the two of us to be close to each other for a day like this.
