Kurambonbon Niagara is the flagship bottling of Kurambon Wine's playful KURAMBONBON series — an easy, candy-like sweet wine line made in Katsunuma, Koshu City, Yamanashi. Made from 100% Niagara grapes, it opens with an intensely showy bouquet of muscat, lychee, pear, mango, peach, and apricot. On the palate it delivers juicy, concentrated sweetness with fresh grape-juice-like vibrancy, balanced by a bright streak of acidity that keeps the extreme sweetness from feeling cloying. Bottled at a light 8% ABV in a 720ml bottle, it is a dessert-style still white wine designed to be poured chilled and enjoyed on its own, like a glass of candy.
This is the wine to hand anyone who says they 'don't like wine' — it tastes like Niagara grapes themselves, and that honesty is exactly the point.
New to wine?
As sweet and approachable as grape juice, but with a wine's finish — a fun, non-intimidating first glass for anyone new to wine.
Food Pairings
Best enjoyed on its own as a dessert wine, chilled to 6-8°C. Also pairs beautifully with fresh fruit tarts, vanilla ice cream, soft cheeses like camembert, or mild blue cheese. Its bright acidity also makes it a fun match for spicy dishes that need a cooling, sweet counterpoint.
