This clear, yellow-green paint resembles a newly sprouted leaf, dropped into water. It has a strong viscosity and an alcohol content of 12.5%.
The moment you pour, you'll be hit with a refreshing citrus aroma reminiscent of lime and navel orange, with a subtle hint of cashew nuts.
When swirled, you can smell herbal aromas like lemon and fennel, and although the spice is not strong, you can still detect a slight hint of white pepper in the distance.
As time passes, the citrus aroma changes significantly, and you can sense nuances like pomelo.
The attack is refreshingly acidic, with a hint of gradual sweetness. The acidity lingers in the finish, giving it the crispness you expect from a dry wine. The aftertaste is moderate (about 10 seconds). Over time, the sharpness of the acidity fades and becomes mellow.
The Japan Wine Competition is one of Japan's most prestigious wine competitions, and is open to "Japanese wines" made from 100% domestically grown grapes. The competition began in 2003 as the "Domestic Wine Competition" and was renamed to its current name in 2015. In recent years, the quality of Japanese wine has improved dramatically, and it has also been gaining international recognition.
During the hot summer months ( approximately June to September ), we strongly recommend using refrigerated shipping to maintain the quality of your wine.
Wine is a drink that is very sensitive to temperature changes. If it is stored in an environment above 25°C for a long period of time, the heat can cause it to lose its flavor, leak, or oxidize.
By using our refrigerated delivery service, we can keep your wine at the optimum temperature until it reaches you, allowing you to enjoy its original flavor.
When placing your order, please select " refrigerated delivery " as the shipping method.
Refrigerated delivery requires an additional fee in addition to the regular shipping fee. For details, please refer to the information on the Specified Commercial Transactions Act .
If you choose standard shipping, we may not be able to offer a refund or exchange for wine that has deteriorated in quality due to temperature changes during shipping. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in order to protect your valuable wine.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
If the front label says "Izu Wine," it means that "the grapes used to make the wine were grown and harvested in the Izu region, " and " the wine was brewed using those grapes at a winery in the Izu region ."
In other words, wine labeled "Izu wine" is made primarily from grapes grown in Izu and is produced in Izu, truly expressing the "climate of Izu."
* When displaying a place name (such as "Izu Wine"), at least 85% of the grapes used must be harvested within the area indicated by that place name.
At Nakaizu Winery, we define "sweet" and "dry" wines as follows:
Sweet:
This type of wine has a rich sweetness that spreads throughout the mouth and continues to have a voluminous sweetness until the finish . For example, "Izu Extra Sweet" and "Sparkling Wine Sweet" have a distinct sweetness.
Neutral :
It has a neutral positioning, with a "modest sweetness (hard to detect)." It has almost no sweetness in terms of sugar content, giving it a refreshing impression.
Dry :
This wine has a drier impression . Rather than being "dry," it has a nuance of being " crisp " or " clean in the mouth ." After drinking it, you may feel a refreshing, light dryness in your mouth.
The "body" of a wine refers to the strength, weight, and satisfying taste of the wine . It also includes what sommeliers call the "texture," or the " feel " when you put it in your mouth.
Light Body:
It's light and easy to drink.
Full Body:
This type of sake has a rich flavor and is satisfying to drink. It tends to have a complex flavor with strong tastes in the mouth, such as astringency and acidity.
