AyaTopia is Katsuki Wines' signature natural white wine, a field blend of Portland, Kyoho, and Niagara grapes grown pesticide-free by hand in Aya, Miyazaki — the flagship cuvée that put this Kyushu winery on the map. Fermented with wild yeast and bottled unfiltered, it shows pale straw-yellow color with aromas of yellow apple, citrus, quince, and melon-family fruit. The palate is smooth and juicy, reminiscent of biting into fresh table grapes, with a refreshing finish of lychee and late-season citrus. Natural sediment settles at the bottom of the bottle; store upright and chill before serving.
AyaTopia is Katsuki Wines' calling card — proof that Kyushu's hot, humid climate can still produce a serious, site-true natural wine. It's the definitive first bottle to try from this producer.
