Tasting notes
2017 Kita no NOVO Blanc de Blanc is a special wine in the “Northern Vase”, which was born from the ability to harvest Chardonnay with its delicious and tasty acids at the best time.
100% Chardonnay harvested in 2017 at the Kimura Farm in Hokkaido, where the grapes were harvested. This wine is hand-made with the best grapes, and winemaking process. Enjoy the softness and refreshing umami.

Winemaking
We extracted only the 100% free-run Chardonnay juice with grapes from the Kimura vineyard in Hokkaido and fermented it with wild yeast at 10R Winery, then transported to Coco Farm Winery the following spring.
At Coco Farm Winery in Tochigi, we added sucrose and yeast to this cuvée and quickly bottled it for tirage. Then we moved these bottles in a dark, cool cellar for secondary fermentation. The wine had been in contact with the yeast lees in the bottle for a long time.
When the wine was at its best, students at Kokoromi Gakuen rotated the bottles 45 degrees each morning and night to collect sediment in the mouth of the upside-down bottle. Then they corked and secured the corks with wire.
