Setouchi Brewery / Mihara Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2023 (White) 750ml
Regular Price ¥4,400The vineyard is "Mihara's Small Vineyard Buttsuji Grape Rocto." Sympathizing with the thoughts of Setouchi Brewery, cultivation of 500 grapevine seedlings for wine production began for our company. The vineyard owner is Mr. Tou, a young producer. Although he has experience with table grapes, this is his first time with wine grape varieties. He is carefully cultivating them through trial and error. This is a "field blend" wine made exclusively from grapes grown in the entrusted cultivation plot for Setouchi Brewery, located in a corner of Rocto's table grape vineyard.
The harvest was waited on the vine until just before the acidity dropped. Producers and Setouchi Brewery staff carefully handpicked the grapes in the field, then brought them to the brewing building. They further hand-sorted and destemmed the grapes, starting fermentation with free-run juice and gently pressed juice at appropriate pressure. The 2023 vintage impresses with a refreshing character that highlights the personality of Sauvignon Blanc. The lingering aftertaste reveals the rich fruitiness of Semillon. The texture is thick and honey-like, with the flavor intact. To preserve the fruitiness of the grapes, it was finished with light filtration. This is a white wine nurtured by the Setouchi sun.
