R&B 2023 [YMW2024.8]
This wine is a fusion of apples and grapes, made from Fuji apples and Pink Delaware apples (a little more colored than Blue Delaware apples) from Nanyo, Yamagata Prefecture. In other words, it is "rhythm and blues and apples and grapes."
The apple juice obtained by slowly squeezing it with an apple juicer was fermented at low temperature for three months without removing the sediment, and at the end of the process, Pink De La Wine, which had been stored without sulfites and turned into aged orange, was added and the secondary fermentation was carried out in the bottle. The color is characterized by the deep yellow color of ripe apples and the aged orange, which is a characteristic of sulfite-free wines.
The taste is good with the apple taste unique to cider and the finesse of the acidity of "Pink Della" from the moderate taste, so I think it goes well with various dishes. The carbonation is moderate, but the fine bubbles blended in give it a stronger apple taste from the second glass onwards. And the core of "Pink Della" keeps it from becoming sloppy, so you won't get tired of drinking it until the end. This kind of fusion wine of "apples" and "grapes" is a wine I wanted to try and make because I came to Yamagata Prefecture, a producer of "apples (third in the country)" and "grapes (third in the country)". I have always thought that if grape wine could make up for the lack of "apples" which have a low alcohol content and do not easily produce acidic characteristics, it would become a more enjoyable wine. Please enjoy the "comfortable rhythm of the throat" and the "scream of the heart that says "It's delicious" as the name "R&B" suggests.
