Inishie no Sato Winery / Chardonnay Autumn Iluna 2023 (White) 750ml
Regular price ¥4,950The weather was favorable from the beginning of 2023, and the Chardonnay harvested between October 12 and 14 had high sugar content (22 degrees) and ripeness, allowing us to harvest in excellent condition. As a first attempt, we conducted a night harvest under the moonlight starting at 3:00 AM to maximize the aroma. While daytime temperatures were still high, it was very cold during the night to early morning, dropping to around 4–5°C. After destemming and crushing, we performed a two-day cold maceration to enhance extraction, followed by about 12 months of barrel aging (50% new barrels) after malolactic fermentation. The wine was released after approximately 8 months of bottle aging. This dry white wine offers a rich body with fruit flavors of dried apricot and apple pie, luscious sweet honey notes, caramel and toasted butter from the barrels, a creamy texture, and balanced acidity.
