A semi-sparkling white made from 100% Niagara grapes grown in Yoichi, Hokkaido. Niagara is a Vitis labrusca variety prized for its distinctive musky 'foxy' aroma, and Yoichi Winery's rendition captures that character in a lightly fizzy, sweet style that tastes almost like biting into fresh-picked Niagara grapes — a festive bottle for summer tables and Christmas gatherings.
Niagara's musky 'foxy' aroma is a flavor most wine drinkers outside Japan and the US Northeast rarely encounter — Yoichi Winery's sparkling rendition turns that novelty into an unabashedly fun, crowd-pleasing sweet fizz that's about joy rather than complexity.
