Established in 2016, Fukuyama Winery released its first wine, “PON FRAIS CHIC.” This wine carries on that legacy. The word chic — also found in our earlier wine names — expresses the spirit we have always cherished: inviting you to enjoy a fresh, vibrant taste and a crisp, lively sparkle in a chic way. Muscat Bailey A grapes are destemmed and crushed, then pressed by the direct-press method. The juice is clarified to a turbidity level equivalent to that achieved in Champagne, and then fermented at a low temperature (below 15°C). After approximately one month of fermentation, the wine is bottled with a small amount of residual sugar remaining. This residual sugar allows the yeast to produce carbon dioxide in the bottle, resulting in a gently sparkling pétillant wine. The rosé hue varies each year depending on the colour of the grape skins, and subtle differences in the final residual sugar level influence the softness of the bubbles. Each vintage reveals a slightly different expression in colour, in the delicacy of the effervescence, and in flavour.
