Tasting notes
The 2010 vintage of "Biya," a white wine transitioned from Diatom to Igai Takaha, is a standout from California. Benefiting from the warm Californian climate, it boasts rich fruitiness with layers of depth from aging. It's definitely a bottle you want to open and savor.
In volume 33 of the manga 'Drops of God,' this wine makes a memorable appearance with Shizuku and Elsa. They speak of its ocean-like aroma, evoking the sensation of a sunless ocean floor. This characterizes the wine perfectly. Especially when paired with oysters, the combination seemed to hit the spot.
Biya has a slightly golden hue, elegantly swirling in the glass. On the nose, it offers a mineral scent reminiscent of sea breezes, alongside sweet aromas of ripe white peaches and pears. When you taste it, the rich fruitiness hits first, followed by lively acidity that carries through gracefully. Overall, it has a solid body without losing freshness and leaves a long-lasting finish.
To enjoy this wine at its best, serve it at around 10-12°C—not too cold. Use a smaller glass to fully appreciate its aroma.
