this wine opens with aromas of ripe blackberries

East India is an appealing deep tawny brown

feels rather bone dry and salivating with rich opulent fruit and nice creaminesss

however patience paid off as the vineyard stayed free of mildew and allowed for a winemaker’s harvest to bring in the fruit when ready

Explore the deep, rich, almost salty flavors from the 90% polished highest grade Yamadanishiki. Fermented at 3C. Winner 2023 Kura Master Platinum (black koji). Smells of fresh shiitake, king oyster mushroom and black vinegar with a hint of plum. Too smell dark brown caramel flan, the creaminess coming from the Kimoto. The palate is chocolate mousse. Finishes with mangosteen and vanilla buttercream.
