Berry A Hyaku (Hyaku Muscat Bailey A) is Marusan Budoshu's light-bodied red wine made from 100% Muscat Bailey A grown in Katsunuma's Miwakubo district. It expresses the variety's signature strawberry-like aroma in an honest, unadorned style, balancing a light, easy-drinking palate with the fullness of ripe berry fruit.
Marusan's Berry A Hyaku captures Muscat Bailey A at its most honest — strawberry-scented, light-bodied, and instantly likeable, exactly the direction this variety should be heading.
