Product details
Choya Plum Wine reflects the distinctive character of Japanese ume through a production approach that combines European-style fruit fermentation with carefully selected Japanese plums. Rather than following a traditional fruit-based approach, Choya developed this expression around ume fruit and a European fermentation process designed to highlight its natural character. The use of carefully selected plums gives the expression a smooth, fruit-forward profile, while the production method is intended to preserve a clean and balanced character. This combination of Japanese ume and European-inspired craftsmanship creates a distinctive expression that showcases the fruit in a refined and approachable style.
The palate offers a smooth and pronounced fruity character, with soft sweetness balanced by a lively tartness reminiscent of biting into a plump, fresh plum. Its crisp, clean character keeps the fruit profile bright and refreshing, while the gentle sweetness provides a rounded finish. The balance between ripe fruit character, soft sweetness, and playful acidity makes this expression particularly versatile and easy to enjoy.
