Domaine Tetta - 'Copain Blanc' 2020

Japanese Natural Wine!

34% Chardonnay, 23% Albariño, 13% Riesling, 12% Pinot Blanc, 11% Kerner, 3% Auxerrois, 1: Viognier, Gewurtztraminer, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc

After destemming, only the berries were placed in open-top stainless-steel tanks for 14 days of maceration with punching down three times a day. During this time, the temperature was not controlled. After careful basket pressing, the wine was aged in stainless steel tanks and barrels for a total of 10 months before bottling. Just before bottling, 15 ppm sulfites were added.

Based on an abandoned farmland that was turned into a grape planation, Domaine Tetta is making some killer new wines out of Okayama, Japan. They do not add acid, sulphur, use pesticides or herbicides. The wines are also fermented using wild yeast and are not fined.

Golden color with a hint of orange. Floral and aromatic nose reminds (reminiscent) of Muscat, pear, yellow peach and white blossom. Dry, with a great structured of acidity and tannins on the palate. The gorgeous aroma spreads in the mouth and lingers on the palate along with the fruity flavors. The unique character of bitterness from the wine is reminiscent of craft beer. 10 varieties of white grapes were used to make this such a unique style of wine.
