Produced at 10R Winery under the KWtN ('Kamihoro Wine to Nakama-tachi') series, this Sauvignon Blanc draws 100% from Takahashi Farm in Higashitoyonuma, Sunagawa City, Hokkaido. Each vintage reveals a different facet of Hokkaido's cool continental climate: the 2022 leads with assertive passion fruit and a crisp, tangy finish; the 2021 opens with orange, ripe pear, and tropical pineapple; while the 2020 showcases fragrant grapefruit, lemongrass, and lavender over a silky, clean acid backbone. Minimal-intervention vinification at 10R preserves the grape's natural purity and the farm's distinctive terroir.
One of Hokkaido's most honest single-farm Sauvignon Blancs — each vintage a transparent portrait of Takahashi Farm through Sunagawa's cool summers.
