Kaya harvested two times, once in mid-September and once at the end of the month. The fruit was directly-pressed before fermentation and ageing in barrique for 3 years on the lees. The different barrels were blended into a fiberglass tank for an additional year of aging before bottling in 2023. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name of the cuvée has two meanings in Japanese - meaning the color white, while the characters separately (\u003cem\u003eShi Ro\u003c\/em\u003e) translates as poetic voyage.
