Tasting Notes
■ Appearance: A bright, pale yellow with soft golden reflections.
■ Aroma: Delicate yet captivating. Subtle floral notes are layered with fresh orchard fruit and a gentle touch of spice.
■ Palate: Crisp, clean, and refreshingly fruity. Classified as medium dry, its residual sweetness is perfectly balanced by crisp acidity, making it taste less sweet than expected. The aromatic characteristics typical of Devin are elegantly restrained, resulting in a refined, highly drinkable, and predominantly dry profile.
While possessing the distinctive vibrancy of Southern Slovakia’s indigenous Devin variety, this wine is never overly sweet and is characterized by a highly refined, dry finish. Enjoy its elegant and approachable flavor, which fully justifies its Sakura Awards recognition.
The Story
The story of the indigenous Devin variety and the secrets of its winemaking
Devin is a proud indigenous Slovak variety, created by crossing Gewürztraminer and Veltlínské zelené. Specially developed to thrive in local environments, it typically produces rich, aromatic wines. In this “Prediction,” those rich characteristics are skillfully controlled to create a smooth, refreshing style.
Only the finest fruit is used, so the grapes are carefully hand-harvested. To extract delicate flavors without releasing heavy phenolic compounds, the juice undergoes 12 hours of cold maceration at 12°C, then gentle pneumatic pressing at 1.6 bar. Finally, it is aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve its pure, fruity character and vibrant freshness.
Food Pairing
The wine’s crisp, fruity profile and subtle sweetness pair wonderfully with rich, flavorful, and savory dishes.
- ■ Butter-sautéed white fish: The smooth, rich butter perfectly complements the wine’s medium-dry fruit flavors, while the crisp acidity cleanses the palate with every sip.
- ■ Saikyo-yaki: The sweetness and umami of white miso harmonize beautifully with the subtle aromas and fruity notes of the Devin variety.
- ■ Mild Asian curry or spiced chicken: The slight residual sweetness and aromatic character (derived from Gewürztraminer) beautifully temper and balance the gentle flavors of spices and herbs.
Serving temperature: 8°C–10°C (Enjoy it at this temperature to bring out its full richness)
Vineyard & Terroir
The terroir of Southern Slovakia
The wine-growing regions of Southern Slovakia are characterized by abundant sunshine and gentle breezes, providing an excellent microclimate for viticulture. These conditions allow Devin grapes to reach optimal ripeness and develop their distinctive aromatic profile while retaining the essential acidity needed for a balanced, refreshing finish.
“It is always exciting to find a high-quality indigenous variety like Devin. This wine has no overwhelming sweetness or overpowering aromas, but rather an incredibly versatile and approachable, clean, and wonderful fruit flavor. It is truly a unique discovery that I would love to share with customers here in Japan.”
