The wine blends base wines made from Koshu grapes grown in 4 regions. The list price is ¥3,500, and approximately 2,000 cases of the 2025 vintage are planned.
Suntory will launch a new product made from 100% Koshu grapes grown in 4 company-managed vineyard regions, blending the distinct terroirs of each region. By combining the character of the 4 regions, the wine aims to deliver layered aromas, concentrated fruit flavors and a pleasant acidity that cannot be achieved from a single region.
The new product uses as its base wines Koshu grapes grown in company-managed vineyards in Tateshina, Nagano Prefecture, and Minami-Alps City, Kai City and Chuo City in Yamanashi Prefecture. The wine will be launched on 8 September at a list price of ¥3,500, with approximately 2,000 cases of the 2025 vintage planned.
In terms of production, Suntory’s blending expertise is used to create a blend that brings out the distinct character of each region. The tasting notes describe a profile designed to pair well with Japanese cuisine, with suggested pairings including sea bream and striped jack sashimi and squid tempura.
