About "Shine! Sparkling"
"Shine! Sparkling" brewed by Yamato Wine.
We will tell you about its charm.
Features of "Shine! Sparkling"
"Shine! Sparkling" is characterized by its impactful naming.
The green wine bottle and the label design that evokes a sense of modern Japanese style catch the eye, making for a stylish and attractive appearance.
"Shine! Sparkling" is a type of sparkling wine with "white bubbles," but the varieties used are surprisingly Shine Muscat, Koshu, and the black grape variety Muscat Bailey A.
It may be surprising, but Pinot Noir is also used as an ingredient in Champagne and other sparkling wines, and by removing the skins of the black grapes and fermenting only the juice, it is possible to create a "white" sparkling wine.
The biggest feature of "Shine! Sparkling," as can be understood from its name, is that it uses Shine Muscat grapes as the raw material for the wine.
The bold idea of using the renowned Shine Muscat, known as a high-quality table grape, in wine is characteristic of Yamato Wine and stirs the hearts of drinkers.
"While feeling the fruity and refreshing aroma of Muscat, it has a dry and sophisticated taste that is not overly sweet."
The aftertaste is reminiscent of cotton candy unique to Muscat Bailey A, making it a sweet, easy-to-drink Japanese wine with a gentle and charming finish.
The vibrant aroma of Shine Muscat, the sweetness of the fruit, the refreshing acidity, and the effervescence make it easy to pair with a wide range of dishes, allowing you to enjoy it casually without worrying about pairing.
A great product for daily use!
The charm of "Shine! Sparkling" is not just in its great taste.
First, it is priced in the 1,000 yen range for the 750ml size.
When it comes to rare Japanese wine, especially sparkling wine, one might imagine a high price range, but if it's in the 1,000 yen range, it can be easily picked up without hesitation.
It is a valuable presence that is very useful for weekend dinners, holiday lunches, and of course, for everyday meals.
Of course, while the price range is casual, the wine itself is of high quality.
"This is a bottle that can satisfy everyone from wine beginners to Japanese wine lovers, making it easy to use for wine gatherings, parties, or as a BYO option at your favorite restaurants."
What I would like to recommend about "Shine! Sparkling" is its use in the increasingly popular outdoor scene in recent years.
"Shine! Sparkling," which shows a glamorous presence at camps, barbecues, and festivals, elevates your mood even more.
Due to the wide range of pairing options, it can be combined with any dish, including grilled camp meals, fried foods, and festival food.
Furthermore, the cap is a Zork, making it easy for beginners to open, and it can be reused as a wine stopper, which helps maintain quality.
"Beer is also attractive, but for those who want to enjoy in a stylish way with sparkling wine, I recommend 'Shine! Sparkling.'"
"This is a bottle that I want you to enjoy daily and freely."
