The wine region of Hokkaidō-ken
Japan's northernmost island (43°N, Burgundy latitude), cool-climate region on the rise. Signature Pinot Noir tailored for cold: fine, silky reds with signature tart cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spice and a mineral touch, delicate tannins and taut freshness — compared to cool-vintage Burgundies. Kerner (German crossing) in aromatic muscat-scented white (citrus, peach, flowers). Also precise Chardonnay, supple Zweigelt.
The word of the wine: Rafle (taste of)
A taste considered a defect, characterized by an unpleasant astringency and bitterness, brought by the stalk during the vinification process. In order to avoid it, destemming before vinification is a common practice.
