We will be releasing New Zealand-made Sauvignon Blanc 2024 and Rosato Soda 2023.
Thank you very much for your continued patronage.
"Sauvignon Blanc North Canterbury" which was brewed in New Zealand in April this year We will release the 2023 vintage "Rosato Soda".
This is Yukikawa Brewery's fourth vintage and their first wine made overseas. The Sauvignon Blanc North Canterbury wine has a distinctive New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc flavor, with a subtle umami taste and a somewhat Japanese feel.
Now in my third vintage, my understanding of the Seibel 13053 variety has deepened considerably, and just like the previously released Rosato, We will also be releasing "Rosato Soda," which we feel will greatly expand the potential of Seibel 13053.
