Chateau Mercian, Hokushin Chardonnay, 2016, Japan

It’s been a few years since I tried a Japanese wine and I understand why when trying this white wine. It’s not that this wine is terrible but 5 years on it’s still very green with sharp green apple has the main flavour. It’s dry and quite acidic so it would be ok with seafood but on its own it’s just that bit too much.

An interesting wine but probably not one I’d want to go back too.
