IWA 5 - Assemblage 4 2023 - Sake
IWA Sake has been created by Richard Geoffroy who previously worked for 28 years as Chef de Cave at Dom Perignon champagne. He is now using his blending (assemblage) skills to create a Sake that appeals internationally while staying true to it's Japanese roots.
An initial nose of marzipan and lotus roots opens up to a slightly nutty, mushroomy aroma. Think hazelnuts and coconut.
The palate follows up with maritime and floral notes with a finish of sancho peppers. Try at different temperatures for different flavours, this Sake can be drunk ice cold or if you want a different journey it can be warmed up. Designed to be paired with many foods so grab a bottle and enjoy the ride.
