La Joie du Raisin No.3 Albariño is a dry white wine from Aquaterrasol Keikouan, made from Albariño grapes grown in the sandy soils along the Chikuma River in Tomi City, Nagano — part of the winery's single-varietal 'La Joie du Raisin' series (alongside No.2 Trebbiano and No.5 Le Petit Rôle). The wine is fermented slowly at low temperature in stainless steel tanks to preserve aromatics, yielding a complex nose combining incense-wood and floral nuances, with crisp minerality and a surprisingly deep palate. Bottled at 750ml, 12% ABV. The vintage is not specified by the retailer listing consulted (750ml, 3,850 yen tax included at Shimizuya, an authorized dealer); this bottling may also appear as sold out or delisted on some shop pages depending on timing.
A distinctive Japanese take on Albariño — the sandy Chikuma River terroir and cold fermentation give it an incense-and-floral complexity rarely found in this variety.
