About Izu Chardonnay 2024 Unwooded
"Izu Chardonnay 2024 Unwooded" is a lively white wine that allows you to fully enjoy the original flavor of Chardonnay.
The juice obtained using a whole bunch press* is clarified overnight at low temperature, and the lees are removed the next day to obtain the clean juice that is used.
The aroma derived from fermentation was carefully extracted to create a refreshing and aromatic wine.
Appearance, aroma and taste
The exterior is a transparent yellow-green color reminiscent of young leaves in early summer.
The scent changes from a refreshing citrus scent like kumquat flowers to a sweet, ripe melon-like gourd scent, and finally to a scent reminiscent of tropical fruits like pineapple.
On the palate, you can feel a neutral and soft texture with a pleasant acidity. The aroma of banana, melon, and passion fruit fills the nose, and you can also enjoy the fruity flavor of grapes.
Whole bunch pressing* refers to the method of squeezing the juice from whole grape bunches. Normally, the grapes are separated from the stems before being pressed, but with this method, the stems are left attached and pressed into the press, minimizing the juice's exposure to oxygen and resulting in a clear, transparent juice!
This is a wine that can be enjoyed freshly, but can also be enjoyed with a little aging.
Izu Chardonnay 2024 Unwooded has been brewed to allow you to enjoy its vibrant freshness, and we recommend consuming it as soon as possible.
By aging it for over a year, the original flavor of Chardonnay becomes stronger in exchange for freshness.
One of the charms of wine is that even the same wine can have a variety of flavors depending on the aging process.
