Founded in 2015 by Hirotaka and Reina Meguro, the old basketball court now houses rows of amphora filled with Koshu, Delaware and Muscat Bailey A. \u003cem\u003eAl Fiore\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning 'single flower', takes its name from Hirotaka's former restaurant. The couple, supported by a small team, produce around 15,000 bottles annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrue to Japanese craft, each wine is made with precision and care. Grapes are scarce and treated with respect; every bottle is hand-numbered and dyed with persimmon. Working with both vinifera and labrusca varieties including Delaware, Steuben and Niagara, the wines are perfumed, delicate and well suited to Japanese cuisine. Made as naturally as possible, with no additives, fining or filtration, production is tiny and allocations limited. We are fortunate to have them in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCirol Skin Contact 2023\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA blend of Chardonnay, Delaware and Steuben, Cirol is a skin-contact white of rare delicacy and character. Although made from the latest harvest and carrying the pure freshness that implies, there is already a developed, layered quality to this wine. The nose opens with fresh pomelo, apple and honey core, then lifts into jasmine. A subtle oxidative touch, gained through barrel fermentation, gives the wine its direction and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerfumed, precise and deeply expressive of its place, this is the kind of wine that rewards curiosity. Production is extremely limited. Once it is gone, it is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50400711966913,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/Fattoria_Al_Fiore_Cirol_Skin_Contact_Kawasaki_2023.webp?v=1783943408","url":"https:\/\/appellance.com\/products\/fattoria-al-fiore-cirol-skin-contact-kawasaki-2023","provider":"Appellance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
