Another Japanese Kerner sweet wine

In my blog about Kerner, I mentioned about a botrytised Kerner from Hokkaido, which unfortunately have neither tasted nor blogged about. This is not that wine, but still a sweet Kerner from Hokkaido, this time from Grace Wine. I saw this wine in a branch of a Japanese wine retailer, at the same time as I spotted this Burgundian sweet wine, and I got a couple of bottles when I bought that wine for the doctors' association wine dinner. Looking up the wine on the winery's website, it seems that the overripe fruit for this medium sweet wine comes from Yoichi in Hokkaido, having been selected for concentration and minerality. It is then fermented and aged in stainless steel. I will certainly look forwards to tasting it.
