Sea and Mountain Concerto 2022 ●

Concert of Ocean and Mountain 2022

Mornings in the green valley begin with a white mist. Clouds hang low among the mountains. I sigh, thinking that the towering mountain peaks across the valley will be invisible today. Soon the birds begin to chirp. The grape leaves begin to rustle. It's the wind. Then the white air begins to fade quietly. Slowly, the green valley spreads out from the white world below. I raise my eyes. The ridges of the high mountains come into view. In the next moment, the peaks begin to glow orange in the morning sun. Mornings in Azumino are beautiful. Are the grapes watching this scene? The wind continues to play a gentle prelude to the start of the day in the green valley.

　　　　　　　　

Sauvignon Blanc is characterized by its pale yellow color and refreshing aroma. The 2022 harvest was delayed in order to wait for the sugar content to increase, but it did not increase as much as expected. However, perhaps due to the increased ripeness, the grapes have a soft acidity and depth. In accordance with Yokohama Winery's policy, the wine was not added sugar or filtered, and was fermented slowly at low temperatures. The first notes are fruity, and the result is a well-balanced, dry wine that is easy to drink.

■Tasting notes
A refreshing citrus flavor with a soft acidity. It has a sweet honey scent that makes you feel like you're in a flower garden. It goes well with snacks, creamy dishes, and fish dishes.
