Chardonnay Perlant 2024
Producer: domaine tetta
Region: Niimi, Okayama
What happens when Chardonnay is grown in Japan?
This gently pétillant white wine is made mainly from Chardonnay, blended with small amounts of Gewürztraminer and several other varieties. It shows expressive aromas of green apple, white peach, Muscat and honeyed lemon, lifted by delicate bubbles and fresh acidity. The palate is vibrant and structured, with citrus, green apple and a subtle bitter note reminiscent of Japanese hassaku citrus.

On the palate it is light, juicy and gently textured, balancing subtle sweetness with refreshing acidity, creating a bright and approachable style that makes Delaware such a fascinating grape for wine.
