🍷 Flavor Notes

Sweetness & Balance

Like a sweet dessert wine, it reveals a gentle sugary profile that cleverly conceals its higher alcohol content (19%).

Hints of melon and green apple can be detected, though they remain subtle rather than dominant. As a sweet-style namagenshu, it also carries a faint effervescence and refreshing lift that adds a lively edge to the palate.
