Ume no Yado Junmai Ginjo

From Nara Prefecture's Ume no Yado, Yamada Nishiki milled to 50%, SMV +3, acidity 1.5, and a hefty 17.5% abv. Rich fruity nose, full of cantaloupes, carrying over into the palate, which tastes sweet, rich and concentrated, round and full, but equally balanced by a rising late acidity and well-placed bitterness on the edges. Perfumed without getting floral, very enjoyable and easy to drink.
