Reviews
Restrained grain-driven aromas. A voluminous palate shaped by integrated alcohol and concentration.

Clean, delicate aromas reminiscent of ginjo sake, with fresh banana and rice cracker, accented by bamboo mochi and steamed chestnut. Smoothness from the alcohol is energized by youthful vibrancy. Subtle umami-like notes from koji and a touch of bitterness add complexity, while the overall impression remains elegant and refined.

Fruit and herbs complemented by maturity-driven complexity—plum, thyme, and nutmeg. Herbal touches highlight freshness and varietal character. Elevated acidity delivers juiciness, while firm tannins frame the finish.

Refined fruit and floral notes are layered with baking spices and brown sugar. Refreshing acidity adds tension to the long finish, enhancing the concentrated fruit flavors. Polished tannins and integrated oak showcase fine craftsmanship.

Deep black-cherry color with purple tones. Floral yet wild, with crushed blackberry and violet alongside baking spices, wild herbs, and leather. Medium-bodied with firm tannic structure, accented by grilled meat and long acidity. A wine that expresses its winemaking philosophy through its wild edge.

Light ruby garnet. Aromas of sour cherry liqueur, licorice, clove, and balsamic tones with hints of tar and smoke. On the palate, floral notes and bright acidity add elegance. Light-bodied but supported by medium, chalky tannins for a satisfying structure.

Pale lemon-yellow with a gray hue. Gentle yet layered aromas of kabosu peel and hints of yeast suggesting umami. With air, notes of white peach and blossoms emerge. Vivid acidity from the vineyard’s elevation highlights fresh fruit flavors, balanced by soft texture, while subtle phenolics add depth to the finish.
