Grand Nikko Tokyo will begin selling its 2024 vintage private wines on Friday, May 16, 2025.
The wines were created with cooperation from Fukagawa Winery and grape grower Toshiro Abiko of Sagae, Yamagata Prefecture.
Here are the details.
About the Private Wines
Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba has sold private-label wines since 2017.
Sales will now begin for the latest release, the 2024 vintage.
A new barrel was purchased for this vintage, and the grapes are Chardonnay carefully grown by Mr. Abiko in Sagae, Yamagata.
To bring out the appeal of Chardonnay to the fullest, two white wines were produced using different fermentation methods.
One is an unfiltered, stainless-steel-fermented Chardonnay that emphasizes fresh acidity and fruit.
The other is barrel-fermented and barrel-aged Chardonnay with a subtle oak aroma and a rounder, deeper palate.
The Two Wines
Two wines are being released.
◆ Yamagata Abiko Chardonnay 2024 — stainless-steel fermented, unfiltered
Fermented in stainless steel and bottled unfiltered to preserve Chardonnay’s natural fruit character.
Its fresh, transparent character pairs especially well with cold appetizers and salads, with gentle acidity and a natural, savory palate.
Glass ¥1,700 / Bottle ¥10,000
◆ Yamagata Abiko Chardonnay Barrel Fermented 2024 — barrel fermented, barrel aged, unfiltered
Fermentation and maturation in new oak give this wine breadth and a gentle oak aroma.
Its refined fragrance and moderate richness pair well with white fish in butter sauce or simply sautéed chicken, followed by a long, generous finish.
Bottle only ¥14,000
