Tasting notes
Idutsu Wine's Chardonnay Barrel Aged is a gem crafted with care in Shiojiri, Nagano. Made entirely from Chardonnay, it undergoes barrel aging to develop its complex aromas and flavors. The 2007 vintage is particularly noteworthy for its rich taste.
In Volume 31, Shizuku opens this wine on his way to Hakone. Surrounded by the lush greenery of a midsummer forest, this wine offers a refreshing sensation that defies the heat. Though the wind isn't blowing, it invites you to step into its captivating charm.
The wine pours a straw yellow with a hint of gold, exhibiting a slightly heavier viscosity. On the nose, you get a waft of ripe apples and pears, accompanied by vanilla and toast notes from the barrel aging. It's a complex bouquet that offers depth and intrigue.
On the palate, it delivers a smooth yet sharp acidity. The lush fruitiness and balanced acidity spread smoothly across the mouth, leaving a pleasant finish. Chill this wine properly and serve it in a small glass to highlight its allure even more.
