Produced soil 2024 Eho increase Rokunou brewery.
Following on from the recent 2023, here is a bottle of Hozasu Roku Nozomi that we obtained at the Sansho Shinen. The label design has been slightly changed this season, and the character for "Riku" can be seen in the microorganisms!
The nose has a strong cedar nuance derived from the wooden vat behind the banana and pineapple.
In the mouth, the texture is thick and fresh gasses stimulate the throat pleasantly. The taste is accompanied by a full-bodied sweetness, and a wild flavor spreads out. The wine is complex yet harmonious, with an exquisite balance. The aftertaste is even more bitter than that of 2023, and finishes crisp and clean. It is the best Hozu yet!
