Kintoku Budoshu Sauvignon Blanc is a dry white wine from Kawachi Wine (Habikino City, Osaka), made from Sauvignon Blanc — a variety favored by the winery's fourth-generation owner and proudly released as part of the Kintoku Budoshu series. Bottled in a 750ml format, it shows citrus-driven aromatics, bright, refreshing acidity, and a distinctive touch of pleasant bitterness on the finish, reflecting the winery's ongoing pursuit of an ideal expression of the variety. It is produced with the standard addition of sulfites (antioxidant) and made entirely from grapes, with no non-grape ingredients.

Sommelier's Note

A standout among Kawachi Wine's white lineup for its varietal clarity — this is one of the clearest expressions of citrus-driven Sauvignon Blanc character coming out of the Habikino-Kashiwara district.

New to wine?

A friendly, citrusy introduction to Japanese Sauvignon Blanc — crisp and easy to enjoy without being overly herbaceous or sharp.

Food Pairings

The citrus aromatics and crisp acidity make it a natural match for lightly fried or grilled white fish, seafood carpaccio, and fresh goat cheese; the touch of bitterness on the finish also works well with bitter greens and herb-forward salads.

When to drink it

Casual weeknight dinners, seafood-centric meals, and everyday aperitif pours where a bright, food-friendly white is wanted.
