Kyoeido's 2025 winter release "Clairé"

Primarily MBA, aged for approximately 6 months in large barrels (a blend of various medium and small barrels).

The appearance is a translucent bluish-purple, tinged slightly with azuki bean red.
Light fruity aromas reminiscent of lemon, pear, and pineapple are overlaid with nuances of young currants. Further depth is added by rose petals, herbaceous notes like tomato and dill, a soft lactic impression reminiscent of yogurt, and barrel-derived spice aromas such as vanilla and mace.

The mouthfeel is smooth and slightly oily.
As it interacts with air, the fruit expression expands richly, with fresh acidity and nuances of green flowers and fruit lingering into the finish.
Over time, gentle vanilla notes from the barrel emerge, adding complexity to the flavor.

The recommended serving temperature is approximately 8℃.
Enjoying it in a slender glass that easily captures aromas will further enhance the delicate aromas of this wine.
It pairs well with relatively low-fat dishes such as fruit and yogurt salad, pork shabu-shabu, and grilled lean meat. It also goes well with light desserts like nuts, macarons, and cakes.
