Snow River Pinot Gris Hachi 2023
Orange wine made by fermenting Hokkaido-grown Pinot Gris grapes with the skins on.
Aiming to create a wine that can be enjoyed at the dinner table every day, we use 100% Pinot Gris from Ishikari City, Hokkaido, and create a delicious wine fermented with the skins. We named it "Pinot Gris Hachi" after the name of the place where the vineyard is located.
The color is a pale orange with a slight yellow tint.
The aroma is reminiscent of pear, yellow peach and black tea from the brewing process, with hints of warm-climate citrus fruits such as loquat and kumquat, and orange peel.
The taste is based on a complex fruity aroma, with a soft attack and deep, subtle acidity, and finally leaves a subtle bitterness reminiscent of Campari in the mouth.
Good pairings include chicken sautéed with malted soy and balsamic sauce, simmered sardines and burdock with plum, and mackerel and smoked daikon radish potato salad.
Please enjoy this dish when you want to enjoy a meal and conversation with close friends.
