Shiro Domisec is Tendo Winery's off-dry white wine made from Delaware grapes grown in Yamagata Prefecture. Despite its French-derived name (from 'demi-sec'), the winery classifies it on the medium-dry side, not sweet — a light-bodied, fruity wine with balanced acidity that showcases the soft, aromatic character typical of Delaware.
Don't be fooled by the 'Domisec' name — Tendo Winery itself labels this a medium-dry wine, not a sweet one, and its clean Delaware fruit makes it one of the most food-friendly everyday whites from Yamagata.
