Gekkeikan Plum Wine is a Japanese fruit wine made from fermented ume plums, bottled at 13% ABV in a 750ml format.
What sets it apart is Gekkeikan's use of actual plum juice fermentation, rather than steeping plums in neutral spirits. The company sources ume plums from Wakayama and ferments the plum juice itself, then combines it with soaked plum fruit in fermented wine and matures the blend over an extended period.
The nose opens with ripe plum nectar, followed by hints of fresh apple and pear and a gentle floral undercurrent. On the palate it is soft and subtly sweet, with full plum nectar flavour balanced by tart apple and pear. The finish is smooth, long and gently sweet, with lingering stone-fruit character and mild acidity.
