I am quoting the duck on the label, BTW. 

Cute ducks are often the best messengers to let you know your sparkling wine is, in fact, not sparkling...

From a tiny 1.5 ha farm in Nagano Japan, Domaine Nakajima makes very special and precise wines, here a sparkling white made from the "table grape" Delaware.

These are special and visionary wines, available for the first time in California.

"The 2024 vintage is a still wine, with no bubbles! The aroma is rich, featuring notes of green and yellow fruits such as green apple, pear, golden kiwi, and melon. The taste is fresh and juicy, with green apple, ripe lemon, and a touch of savory umami. Since grapes were harvested a bit earlier than usual, it has a nice crisp acidity. There's also a slight tingle of bubbles that gives it a refreshing feel. The gentle roundness comes from malolactic fermentation, and it stays delicious even a few days after opening.."
