The energy of grapes from our own organic vineyards is packed into this bottle. No sulfites (antioxidants) are added at any stage of the process. With a slightly sweet aroma, the crisp, fresh acidity of pomegranate or pink grapefruit is pleasant on the palate, making this a refreshing Petillant perfect for early summer!
An orange wine with a good balance of umami, fruitiness and astringency

A blend of Delaware grapes grown in Yamagata Prefecture, Niagara, Rosario Bianco, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer from Nanyo City, and Delaware grapes harvested from their own vineyard. All fermentation took place in amphorae. After aging in amphorae for six months, the wine was left to settle in stainless steel tanks for several months before bottling.
■Natural Wine■ Enjoy the natural liquor that has become a trend in recent years
A wine to watch: An orange wine from a producer in Georgia, a wine-producing region that has quickly gained international recognition.

This rare Georgian wine, made entirely in qvevri, has been popularized around the world, and is one of the earliest Georgian wines to attract global attention. It is also listed on the menus of famous restaurants around the world. A honey aroma. A golden glow. Dry and heavy. A subtle apricot and walnut aroma. It pairs well with roast chicken, quail, and duck, but also pairs well with lighter dishes, as it's not too overpowering.
