I have tasted a number of wines made from this iconic Japanese grape, one varietal example from Australia and another a Korean blend. Finally in this year's Wine Fair, I was able to try a Japanese wine made from the grape. According to the booklet of the Japanese Pavilion, there should be two on show, but I only ended up tasting this sweet one. {The other was not called sweet in the booklet, and may have been semi-sweet).
The wine was a pale lemon yellow, with a slightly sweet tropical fruit nose. The palate was much sweet with a hint of the typical labrusca foxiness as well as a good dose of acidity, which persisted to provide support and structure.
