The Kobe Luminarie is held every year in December in Kobe to commemorate the Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995 where over 6000 people tragically died.
The Luminarie is a beautiful light festival in downtown Kobe, and about 3-5 million people visit it each year for the two weeks it runs.
Unfortunately this Kobe Rose is not much better than the Red.
It's a darkish rose with a hint of brown in the glass. The nose is very much Japanese grapes (this wine is made with 100% Kobe grown grapes, although I don't know the variety). The nose is also vegetative and a bit earthy.
On the palate, it's vegetative and earthy but not in a good way, it's also a little fizzy.
Bitter and astringent...as you may have guessed I'm not a big fan of this one (and to be honest I didn't think I would be!), fingers crossed the white is better...haven't tried that yet.
