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: Véraison
A phase in the vegetative cycle of the vine that takes place in summer, usually in August, when the grapes change colour from green to red (for reds) or yellow (for whites). This stage heralds the beginning of ripening.
