[Kanda Budoen CHACHA PALE Orange 2023]

A delicate, translucent orange wine

This amber wine is made from two aromatic varieties: Shine Muscat and Niagara.
The Shine Muscat undergoes fermentation with lightly crushed whole bunches, after which more whole bunches of Shine Muscat are added and slowly macerated and fermented for about two weeks.

Since Shine Muscat is difficult to crush, the grapes are mashed by hand rather than punched down, allowing them to dissolve into the fermenting must.
Although cultivated with seeds, many of the berries are mutationally seedless, so whole bunches are used and pressed firmly to impart a gentle astringency and bitterness to the wine.

While categorized as an orange or amber wine, its color is pale, closer to a yellow hue.

Kanda Budoen is a historic winery founded in 1903. They carefully ferment estate-grown grapes that thrive in the Sanriku climate, producing wines with natural flavors.
They prioritize minimizing the use of sulfites and adhering to traditional barrel aging, ensuring the wine reflects the unique characteristics of the grapes.
Having overcome the earthquake disaster, Kanda Budoen continues to embrace new challenges, offering wines that embody the blessings of the land and the passion of its winemakers.
