Ekspertens beskrivelse

Choya Original Umeshu is a Japanese umeshu wine made from the ume fruit, a species related to plums and apricots, bottled at 10% ABV.

The wine is produced by Choya Umeshu Co., Ltd. in Osaka, Japan - the country's leading umeshu producer since 1914. The ume fruit is steeped in alcohol with sugar, which over time draws out the fruit's natural sweetness and acidity into the wine. Choya Original is the classic, best-selling version, often served with whole ume fruits in the bottle as visible proof of the traditional production method.

Smag

The taste is sweet and fruity with a pleasant acidity from the ume plums, without a dominant alcoholic character. The aroma offers ripe stone fruit and a hint of almond, while the finish is soft and lightly tart.
