ESSENCE ｜ 100% Japanese Wine Grape Concentrate

Rich 100% Grape Juice from a Winery

This is a rich 100% juice made only from grapes cultivated for wine.
We offer two varieties: Pione and Aki Queen.

The juice has a nectar-like, pulpy texture, characterized by elegant sweetness and gentle acidity. The finish is long, with a mild astringency thanks to the mineral acidity.

① ESSENCE - PIONE

It has a cloudy, purplish-red bean color that creates a rich consistency. You can enjoy a Japanese confectionery-like aroma reminiscent of red bean paste, as well as a rich, ripe scent. The rich grape aroma that spreads throughout your mouth is like savoring the bounty of the earth.

② ESSENCE - AKI QUEEN

It boasts a sweetness comparable to Kyoho grapes. Despite its pale pink-orange color, a tropical aroma reminiscent of mango and pineapple spreads from your mouth to your nose.

ESSENCE allows you to fully appreciate the distinct fruit flavors of each grape variety.

Chill well before drinking, and arrangements that enhance its richness are also recommended!

To enjoy this luxurious juice even more, chill it well before opening.

The crisp texture and rich aroma will be even more pronounced.

For the first glass, please savor the astonishing richness as is.

From the second glass, arrangements are also recommended. How about mixing it with soda for a refreshing drink, or using it as an ice cream sauce?

Okayama's Nature Provides an Advantage for Grape Cultivation

The maker of ESSENCE is domain tetta, which operates a grape farm and winery in Tetta-cho, Niimi City, in the northwestern part of Okayama Prefecture.

Surrounded by beautiful mountains, the 18,000 grapevines spread across a small mountain peak at an altitude of 400 meters, resembling a European landscape.

Okayama is known as the "Land of Sunshine," boasting long daylight hours and significant temperature differences. Grapes are cultivated in well-drained limestone soil, similar to famous wine regions in France.

To make this vineyard sustainable and economical, domain tetta practices reduced pesticide use and grass cultivation.

• Combination of "flat trellis cultivation," effective for securing yields, and "hedgerow cultivation," which concentrates flavor.
• "Rain-cut cultivation," which ensures sunlight and increases sugar content, is adopted in almost all fields.
• No herbicides or chemical fertilizers are used. "Grass cultivation" is practiced, where undergrowth is allowed to grow to decompose and provide nutrients to the fruit trees through microorganisms.
• Minimal pesticide application.

The climate, surrounding environment, and techniques involved in growing wine are often collectively referred to as "terroir," and this juice strongly expresses that terroir.

This rich juice, which will surprise adults, is also perfect as a souvenir for home parties. It is sure to be appreciated by non-drinkers and children alike.
