Iwa 5 - Assemblage 2 Sake 720ml

IWA 5 - Assemblage 2 is a remarkable expression of resilience and precision from Richard Geoffroy, the renowned former Chef de Cave of Dom Pérignon. Created under unique circumstances that required blending to be done remotely from France, this vintage is a testament to Geoffroy's unwavering focus and skill. The challenge resulted in a sake with an exceptional emphasis on pure, heightened aromatics, all while retaining the beautiful balance and complexity that define the IWA project.

This sake is a dynamic journey in the glass. It begins with a bright, luminous scent of white flowers, fresh pear, and plum, accented by delicate notes of saffron and cherry. The palate is rounded and vibrant, showing a purity that is both refreshing and deep. One of its most captivating features is its evolution with temperature. When chilled, it is taut and floral. As it gently warms, it becomes more energized and fruity, eventually revealing a richer body with subtle notes of licorice and a mouthwatering mineral finish.

This Junmai Daiginjo is crafted from a masterful blend of three different rice varieties, five yeast strains, and aged reserve sakes. It is an incredibly versatile and sophisticated sake built for the modern table, perfect for those who appreciate the evolving character of fine wine.
