OK, serving this blind and watching people's brains melt was properly cruel of me. One person actually nailed it - "some New World natty stuff"; but then everyone went straight to France. And honestly? I get it. This Japanese blend of whatever-the-fuck drinks like natural Saint-Aubin. More convincing as Burgundy Pinot than what it actually is - some wild Japanese grape medley. After eighteen months away from it, the wine's gained depth and complexity but lost that effortless drinkability I loved. Classic evolution trade-off. Still absolutely worth it for the mindfuck factor alone - a Japanese wine that out-Burgundies half of Burgundy (ok far-fetched). Fascinating stuff, even if it doesn't gulp down quite as easily anymore.
Steuben and Niagara are from Yamagata prefecture, Yama Sauvignon is from Iwate prefecture. Blended some components Steuben, Niagara (4,5,6 days skin ferment) and Yama Sauvignon which was fermented on skin for 12 days. Vinification and aged in stainless steel vat. Fruitiness of Steuben and good acidity from Yama Sauvignon.
除梗し4日間皮と醸した山形県産のスチューベンを軸に6日間皮と醸したスチューベン、5日間皮と混醸したスチューベン、ナイアガラをブレンド。 最後に12日間皮と醸したヤマソーヴィニョン(12%全房)を加えた。 スチューベンの華やかな花のような香りとヤマソーヴィニョンのワイルドさ、酸の高さが融和したワイン。

This wine features a charming bouquet of strawberry, compote, Nordic berries, and hints of Iceland moss or similar herbs. A textbook example of a 'glou-glou' wine, its high-quality fruit and juiciness make it irresistibly drinkable, inviting you to enjoy it in large quantities. Well-crafted with good structure and surprising complexity, it is simply delicious.
