Faraday is a dry rosé from Natan Winery made with grapes grown by contract farm 'Shiroi no Mi Farm' in Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture, a sunny stretch of land near the Seto Inland Sea. The current (2024) vintage blends Pione, Shine Muscat, Fujiminori and Kyoho with two rarer Japanese-bred and wild varieties: Mondo Burie (a Chardonnay × Cayuga White cross bred for white winemaking) and Ryukyu Ganebu, a wild Vitis ficifolia var. ganebu grape native to Okinawa's Ryukyu Islands. Fermented with wild yeast, bottled without added sulfites or filtration, it pours a pale, softly hazy purple and opens with cotton-candy and stewed-plum aromatics. The entry is gentle and fruit-forward, turning toward calm fresh-herb notes with air; as it warms, gentle bitterness and umami build layer by layer, deepening further on day two and three. Grape composition and ratios shift each vintage (earlier releases used a narrower blend), so this profile reflects the 2024 bottling.
A rosé built from a rare lineup — cultivated Kagawa table grapes alongside a wild Okinawan vine — that proves Natan's most playful cuvées can also be its most quietly complex.
New to wine?
A gently hazy rosé that's easy to love — soft, fruity, and full of berry-and-herb charm.

- What grapes is Faraday made from?
- The 2024 vintage blends Pione, Shine Muscat, Fujiminori and Kyoho table grapes with two rarer varieties: Mondo Burie, a Chardonnay × Cayuga White cross bred in Japan for white winemaking, and Ryukyu Ganebu, a wild grape (Vitis ficifolia var. ganebu) native to Okinawa's Ryukyu Islands. All the fruit comes from 'Shiroi no Mi Farm' in Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture.
- What does Faraday taste like?
- It opens with cotton-candy and stewed-plum aromatics, a gentle, fruit-forward entry, and develops calm fresh-herb notes with air. As it warms, gentle bitterness and umami build in layers, becoming even more harmonious by the second or third day after opening.
- What food pairs well with Faraday?
- Its soft acidity and umami depth suit herb-seasoned or grilled dishes — grilled chicken, herbed charcuterie, salt-grilled fish, or Japanese sides like hiyayakko with condiments.
- Does Faraday's grape blend change every year?
- Yes. Like several of Natan's other cuvées, the grape composition and ratios shift from vintage to vintage depending on the harvest at Shiroi no Mi Farm, so each year's Faraday has a slightly different character.
