Tasting from winery
Aromas of pear, loquat, and banana, along with fermentation-derived notes such as yogurt and ginjo-like aromatics, complemented by hints of clove spice. On the palate, a soft balance of sweetness and acidity is accompanied by a slight bitterness reminiscent of Japanese citrus peel. The finish is accented by subtle salinity and umami.
