Wines made from Muscat Bailey A grapes of Yamanashi-ken
Discover the best wines made with Muscat Bailey A as a single variety or as a blend of Yamanashi-ken.
Supple, fruity reds with a moderate ruby robe, silky tannins and a direct palate, with signature Muscat aromas (fresh grape, rose), red fruits (cherry, strawberry), candy and hybrid herbal notes. A simple, early-ripening profile. Widely grown in Japan (Yamanashi, Nagano), it is the emblem of modern Japanese reds. Black hybrid grape created in 1927 by Zenbei Kawakami, a Bailey × Muscat Hamburg cross.
Japanese winemaking heart at the foot of Mount Fuji, signature in Koshu. Identity-driven native white (~90% of Japanese plantings): delicate, precise dry whites with notes of citrus (yuzu, lime), green apple, white flowers and a slightly saline finish, low alcohol and great freshness. Ideal with sushi and Japanese cuisine. Also Chardonnay and Merlot in the altitude zones of Akeno.
