Orange wine from Japan — Nagano, Japan
MELANGE ALSACIEN CASSIOPEIA farm vineyard 2024 (Orange)
YONE farm HIGOSHIMI / Nagano, Japan

About this wine
From YONE farm HIGOSHIMI in Nagano Prefecture, MELANGE ALSACIEN CASSIOPEIA farm vineyard 2024 (Orange) is a dry, medium-bodied orange wine crafted with grapes from CASSIOPEIA farm vineyard in the Tazawa district of Higoshimi City. Bottled at 11% ABV with a 750ml volume, it quietly expresses its presence as a specific vintage, carrying the solid legacy of its origin and maker.
Organically grown grapes are used as the raw material, fermented with wild yeast and aged in stainless steel tanks. It is bottled with a small amount of antioxidant, remaining unfiltered and unfined, crafted with the image of Alsatian orange wine in mind. The fruity flavors derived from the fermented juice are brought out, and by keeping the grape varietal undisclosed, it allows you to engage with the liquid itself without preconceived notions.
Its design, allowing for effortless and light drinking due to its low alcohol content, naturally fits as an option for daily meals or relaxed moments. It is a wine worth welcoming, with its finish directly conveying the terroir of Higoshimi and the maker's concept, free from subtle preconceptions.
