Winemaking
An orange wine made exclusively from grapes grown in Kitani Wine’s own vineyards. The Delaware grapes are cultivated in their vineyard in Habikino City, Osaka Prefecture, while the Monde Briller, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Gris are sourced from their vineyard in Tenri City, Nara Prefecture. Monde Brilliant is a Japanese white wine grape variety, developed by crossing Chardonnay with Cayuga White, a downy mildew-resistant grape. It is characterized by its rich, muscat-like aroma.

The wine is made mainly from Delaware. A blend of white wines including Delaware, Monde Briller, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Gris, with the addition of an orange wine made from Delaware.
