[IKEDA SELECT WHITE 2025]
Uses Koshu grapes from the Hishiyama district, one of the best growing regions in Katsunuma
Koshu grapes from the Hishiyama district are harvested in mid-October and slowly fermented and aged in new French oak barrels. This process brings out the fruit's aroma, and the moderate oak flavor enhances the wine's taste.
It offers an exquisite balance of citrus fruit and a vanilla-like oak flavor, with a subtle hint of white peach.
This elegant Koshu wine possesses both strength and delicate flavors.
・Excerpt from Ikeda Winery Official Website
Katsunuma in Yamanashi Prefecture is a very small town, but it is widely known as the birthplace of Japanese wine and is considered one of the regions producing high-quality wines.
Winemaker Toshikazu Ikeda was captivated by wine at a young age, moved to Katsunuma, and worked as a winemaker at a local winery.
In 1995, he achieved his long-held dream of independence, and Ikeda Winery was established in Katsunuma.
For 15 years since its establishment, the winery has been dedicated to crafting wines with a focus on taste.
"Through wine, the hearts of the maker and the drinker connect."
This is the ideal of Ikeda Winery.
