Starting March 24, 2023, "Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba" has begun selling its 2022 vintage private wine.
This wine was produced in collaboration with "Fukagawa Winery."
Let's take a look at the details.
About the Private Wine
The private wine of "Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba" is an offering that has been sold since 2017.
For this 2022 vintage, along with an unfiltered white wine, the lineup features a bottled rosé sparkling wine—a first for the project—and a limited, small-batch orange wine.
The newly debuting orange wine was brewed in a limited small batch to express the potential of the Koshu variety, driven by the perspective of creating something that had never been released before.
In addition, during the white wine brewing process using Koshu, repeated tastings and discussions were held right up to the final decision on whether to make it sparkling or still, and whether to filter it or not, depending on the grape's ripeness; the resulting white wine is reportedly a confident creation crafted with the vision of being enjoyed alongside cuisine at the hotel's restaurants.
They hope guests will savor the distinctive, carefully crafted flavor of each wine.
About the Original Wine
This edition of the original wine was brewed by "Fukagawa Winery."
◆ Yamanashi Nirasaki Muscat Bailey A (Rosé Sparkling)
Featuring a vivid ruby appearance, brilliant bubbles rise in the glass after uncorking, and aromas of fruit expand from the bursting effervescence.
A bottle that can be enjoyed not only as an aperitif, but also as an accompaniment to desserts featuring berry fruits.
◆ Yamagata Koshu Orange Unfiltered
Made from white grapes using red wine vinification methods, this orange wine combines refreshing crispness with tannins, making it an outstanding match for dishes seasoned with oriental spices as well as Chinese cuisine.
Recommended for lunchtime bathed in natural light, where the beautiful orange hue shines brilliantly.
◆ Yamagata Koshu Unfiltered (White)
Finished unfiltered from the perspective that "impurities are also part of umami," it has a cloudy, pale lemon-yellow appearance.
It offers a dry flavor profile with toasty aromas derived from the yeast, nuances of Japanese citrus, soft acidity, and abundant umami.
