TWIN PEAKS BLANC 2024

Deep flavor created by various innovations, including two separate harvests

Twin Peaks Blanc is a blend of Chardonnay, Petit Manseng, and Albariño grapes harvested by hand. By increasing the percentage of Petit Manseng compared to last year, we were able to create a clean Chardonnay with citrus flavors and aromas reminiscent of black tea and honey. Last year, when temperatures were high, the "Petit Manseng" grapes were harvested at two different times, with the early harvest providing acidity and the remainder fully ripe to bring out the aroma.

Twin Peaks Blanc is the first wine made from 100% Ibaraki Prefecture grapes to win the Silver Award. The winery is aiming to win the award again next year in order to boost local winemaking and enhance its reputation as a winery.

TWIN PEAKS BLANC 2024 4,290 yen (tax included, limited to 1,110 bottles)

Citrusy aroma of lemongrass, lime, and white peach. The wine has a full-bodied acidity with a hint of sweetness, making it easy to pair with a variety of dishes.
