About this wine
BEESNEES vineyards' Episode Zero 2019 (white sparkling) is a Japanese white wine from Ibaraki Prefecture, with the 2019 vintage clearly identifying this particular bottle. The alcohol content is 12%.
Visually, it has a pale, pinkish lemon-yellow hue with some cloudiness and a strong effervescence. The grape varieties used are Chardonnay, Syrah, and Semillon, finished in a dry style.
It has a soft, juicy, and delicate, gentle mouthfeel. While sweetness is perceived as dominant upon entry, the overall balance is well-maintained by the round acidity beneath.
