Grape Hybrid Grapes & Apple

Yakousei (Nocturality in English) is not made with a specific apple or grape variety each year, but rather with a playful mix of the year's varietals, in order to express something mysterious that buzzes at night. 

This is a co-fermentation of grape and apple juice, vinified according the ancestral method.  Yakusei is both a cider and a sparkling wine.

In the bottle, a slight grape sweetness, followed by a light acidity with a hint of apple and yogurt aromas
