KOMAKI Rouge Muscat Bailey A is a fruit-forward red from Komaki Winery, a welfare-support winery in Komaki City, Aichi Prefecture that employs people with intellectual and psychiatric disabilities across every stage of production. Made from 100% Muscat Bailey A grapes grown in Komaki, the grapes are picked at full ripeness and fermented with a yeast strain selected to amplify fruit character and aroma. The wine undergoes only coarse filtration and is bottled with a touch of yeast haze intentionally retained, giving it a lightly rustic, hand-crafted character. Expect vivid strawberry and lychee fruit, a cotton-candy sweetness on the nose, and fresh floral and green notes, framed by soft, charming acidity reminiscent of raspberry and strawberry sauce.
A charming, welfare-winery MBA that leans into ripe fruit rather than fighting it — chill it down and it drinks like a strawberry-lychee dessert wine in red form.
New to wine?
A friendly, easy-sipping red with juicy berry fruit — a great first Muscat Bailey A.

Pairs well with light, sweet-savory dishes: think teriyaki chicken, berry-glazed pork, or a fruit tart. Its soft tannins and bright acidity also suit mildly spiced Asian dishes.
When to drink it
Casual gatherings, chilled summer sipping, or paired with sweet-savory home cooking.
