うみがめ（ソーヴィニヨン・ブラン）2024（白）

From the winery CARVEDOZZI winery in Niigata Prefecture, the white wine UMIGAME wine (Sauvignon Blanc) 2024 (White) is a dry, medium-bodied wine with 12% alcohol, made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc from their own vineyard.

After macerating the grapes harvested from their own vineyard at extremely low temperatures for 72 hours, the juice was pressed, clarified, and then fermented and aged in wooden barrels before being bottled in early spring. Unlike the method for long-aged orange wines, this wine is designed to retain the varietal's herbaceous notes and floral aromas while layering in the richness from the skins and the lightness of the sandy soil. The aroma opens with notes of pear, lychee, and tropical fruits like pineapple, with the characteristic herbaceousness of Sauvignon Blanc felt underneath. The palate is soft, with a structure that evolves into a richer texture over time.

Named UMIGAME wine due to its unique taste and imagery evoking the beach and the sea, this wine offers an approach to Sauvignon Blanc grown in Niigata's sandy soil.
