So just think this is funny and trying to frame this right. We are doing an event with a Canadian wine importer and we will be comparing similar styles and varietals, but from obviously such different terroirs.
I feel like these are both so different and it's hard to do this if you aren't using a traditional area as a base. Like Burgundy Chardonnays vs Japanese Chardonnays.
Still fun though and out there. Any tips or ideas would be welcome.
If you want tasting notes.
Vinoble Vineyard (Hiroshima)- Muscat Bailey A Rose: Actually very surprised by this. Very provencesque, mineral, smooth, but with a Strawberry Candied end, which is the major aroma you get from the MBA grape. Definitely a sitting outside on a terrace type of rose.
Rosewood (Niagara Peninsula)- Flora- Cab Franc/Gamay/Pinot Noir Rose: Nothing compared ot the Japanese one above. More body and that obvious from the color. I get some red fruit, herbs, and not as mineral. Very good, I would maybe have a small plate of food with it.
