### A Fruit Wine Perfecting the Pure Charm of Amanatsu
'Amanatsusugiru Wine' is a fruit wine developed to maximize the pure fruit flavor of Amanatsu oranges. This product was born as part of a sustainable initiative to effectively utilize out-of-spec fruits. Based on a wine-making process that pairs well with meals, it concentrates the characteristic aroma and sweet-sourness of Amanatsu into a single bottle of 100% Amanatsu fruit wine.
### Highlights of 'Amanatsusugiru Wine'
1. **Luxurious Process Using Only 'Amanatsu Juice'**
'Amanatsusugiru Wine' is created by fermenting the Amanatsu juice itself. A long-established winery with over 50 years of history conducted the brewing using a process similar to grape wine. By adding fresh Amanatsu juice to the fermented wine, a dense sweetness and brilliant aroma derived 100% from Amanatsu are achieved. A unique production method that preserves the umami of the fruit pursues a pure taste.
2. **100% Tree-Ripened Mature Amanatsu from Nokonoshima**
100% of the raw materials are mature Amanatsu oranges from Nokonoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture. Grown in a warm climate with well-drained soil, these oranges are harvested using the 'tree-ripening' method, where they are allowed to mature on the tree longer than usual—sometimes for up to half a year more. This allows the acidity to become mellow and the sweetness to be strongly drawn out, giving the wine deep body and freshness.
3. **'Luxurious Extraction' by Winery Artisans**
To ensure the potential of the Amanatsu is not compromised, winery artisans handle everything from juicing to processing. Since applying strong pressure during juicing can result in bitterness, they strictly follow a 'luxurious extraction' method, gently squeezing the fruit without unnecessary load. With some manual hand-squeezing incorporated, they extract only the original pure sweetness of the Amanatsu.
