A umeshu aged in Burgundy pinot noir barrels
Tasting Notes
WAKAZE's Umeshu, matured for 12 months in Pinot Noir barrels from the Domaine Jacques Prieur in Burgundy, offers a novel beverage experience. It presents a sophisticated blend of nutty sweetness combined with the refreshing acidity of prunes and a smooth aftertaste. WAKAZE retains its strong aroma of roasted coffee and spices, reminiscent of its fresh emergence from the cask, by eschewing the addition of water prior to bottling. Relish the refined evolution of WAKAZE's Umeshu flavor, enriched by its year-long barrel aging.
Color: pale gold, pale brown
Nose: complex aromas of apricot, almond and vanilla with hints of roasted coffee and spices.
Mouth-feel: The taste is balanced and reveals a pleasant sweetness. The acidity of the ume (plum) covers the astringent taste the astringent taste of tannin due to barrel ageing
※A slight deposit linked to natural ingredients may appear, this does not alter the quality of the product.
