WINE MAKING PROCESS
Mahoroba Twilight 2023 is made from 100% Delaware grapes grown in Takahata Town, Yamagata Prefecture. The grapes are harvested bunch by bunch. Vinification involves fermentation with natural yeast in stainless steel tanks. The winemaking process intentionally omits sugar, clarification, and filtering. The production of this orange wine in 2023 was notably impacted by a typhoon-induced power outage, which led to an unplanned fermentation process described as a 'miracle'.
