A sparkling rosé from 66% Aki Queen, 29% Muscat Bailey A, and a blend in the remaining 5%. From Japan.

Made mainly from 11-23 year-old Aki Queen and Muscat Bailey A vines planted on south-west facing slopes on a limestone karst plateau at 400 metres altitude. The Aki Queen and MBA were each put into separate stainless steel tanks in whole bunches and they underwent carbonic maceration for 2-3 months. The wine was then bottled, degorged and matured for approximately three months before release. This is a sister wine to the popular Perlant Rosé 2020, the fastest selling wine we imported in 2022. It has a longer period of carbonic maceration than the sister wine to emphasize the tropical aromas, and is made with a more natural structure in mind.

The wine has been made annually since 2017. Depending on the year, various styles have been tried, such as still wine, Petillant or a very slightly carbonated Perlant. The wines are composed mainly of Aki Queen, a table grape, and Muscat Bailey A, a variety indigenous to Japan. It was named Bonbon Colorés because these grapes, which were put into the tanks, looked like very pretty candies. The tropical, sweet aroma that filled the tanks still lives on in the wine.
