These wines are light in alcohol with wonderfully aromatics, crisp, with rich acidity and a light bitterness that gently lingers.
The imperfect 98 can become a perfect 100: 98Wines opened in 2017 by Yuki Hirayama, after a life time of working in Burgundy and Japan and at the age of 60, Yuki Hirayama finally achieved his dream owning his own winery and vineyards based on the concept of “the right variety for the right place in the right season.” In Japan this means planting vine varieties that thrive in the wet climate and natural conditions. Two varieties fitted the criteria: Muscat Bailey A (native to Niigata Prefecture) and Koshu (indigenous to Yamanashi Prefecture).
