Tomoya Note Blanc is part of Kinkei Wine's series recreating recipes recorded in founder Tomoya Sato's original winemaking notebook roughly thirty years ago. Made from a blend of Delaware and Niagara grapes, 100% grown in Yamagata Prefecture, and fermented without any added sulfites, this sweet white wine offers a honeyed aroma balanced by a lively, well-defined acidity that gives the wine a firm backbone despite its sweetness. Best enjoyed as an aperitif or dessert wine rather than alongside a meal.
Among Kinkei's sulfite-free lineup, Tomoya Note Blanc stands out as the house's most elegant sweet white — its bright acidity keeps the honeyed fruit from ever feeling heavy.
