- WINEMAKER: Christophe and Yuka Mittnacht

- VARIETY: 45% Pinot Blanc, 23% Pinot Gris, 16% Gewurztraminer, 8% Riesling, 8% Muscat
- TERROIR: Sourced from multiple parcels in the villages of Hunawihr and Ribeauvillé, with vines averaging over 30 years old, planted on clay and limestone soils.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes; fermented with indigenous yeasts in large old foudres to preserve varietal character and enhance complexity.

- FOOD PAIRINGS: Specifically crafted to complement sushi and other seafood dishes; also pairs well with light salads, Asian cuisine, and soft cheeses.

'Gyotaku' is a unique blend specifically crafted to complement sushi and sashimi. The creation of this wine is a result of a collaboration between a French winemaker and a Japanese chef. With its fresh and dry aroma, Gyotaku wine has the character to stand up to the flavors of soy and wasabi. The name Gyotaku has its roots in traditional Japanese art, where fish, ink, and paper are used to create prints.
