RED MILLENNIUM Dry 2024 (White)

Crafted from a variety created by Zenbei Kawakami, founder of IWANOHARA vineyard in Niigata Prefecture, this is RED MILLENNIUM Dry 2024. The 2024 vintage of this white wine was cultivated under the climate recorded on the official page: August rainfall was about 20% of the average year, and temperatures from late August to early September were about 3°C higher. This dry wine, with 12% alcohol and a 720ml volume, won a silver medal and the highest award in its category at the Japan Wine Competition 2025 in the "Domestic Hybrid/Improved Varieties - White" division.

Breeding work from nearly a century ago has taken shape through the unique weather of 2024, leading to recognition through an official competition. When you hold this fact in your hands, you notice that characteristics such as aromatic fruit scents like lychee and Muscat, and a refreshing acidity with a crystal-clear transparency leading to a clean finish, are indeed noted as official descriptions.

As you trace the profile of this distinctive dry wine, said to pair well with food, consider how it might grace your table tonight. Before a bottle where history and records converge, a moment quietly arises where you might feel this is precisely the bottle you choose to drink today.
