Kenzo Estate muku half-bottle late harvest sauvignon blanc white wine Napa Valley

A Late Harvest, Delicately Sweet Wine – "Eternal dream" in Japanese, muku is absolute euphoria in a bottle. Its rarity is cause for its half-bottle format, and its limited availability throughout the year. The Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grown for muku is nurtured an extra month on the vine until the grapes are golden brown.  At a peak moment, the fruit is meticulously hand-harvested and gently pressed to extract an almost syrup-like juice and heavenly bouquet. In the cellar, the fruit is cold-fermented, enabling a slow sugar-to-alcohol conversion, designed to preserve and enhance muku’s heavenly bouquet.
