This wine is made from "Hokujun," a cross between Amurensis and Muscat Hamburg from Yamagata Prefecture. The grapes were destemmed, crushed, and fermented for 60 days. Punch-downs were performed once every two days to promote lactic acid bacteria growth on top of the fermenting must, converting malic acid, characteristic of Amurensis (wild grape) varieties, into lactic acid. Fermented at a low temperature with minimal punch-downs, this wine boasts a rich color and a light, wild flavor, despite its 8% alcohol content. "Alternative" signifies "that which remains unchanged, an undeniable necessity with no other option."
Its vivid purple hue also hints at this wine's aging potential. Enjoy it now or let it age gracefully. Savor the unchanging essence of wine enjoyment with "Alternative."
*Lactic fermentation components may be present, but they do not affect the taste.
