Description

This wine is made from Koshu, Japan’s indigenous wine grape which can be traced back to 1186 when it was discovered growing wild at Katsunama in Yamanashi prefecture.The wine spends time on lees to bring out some palate weight. This is very bright, high in acid and with gently aromatic with a slightly lactic note. Think Muscadet played on the black keys.

Pale yellow color. Refreshing aromas of citrus fruits such as lemon, lime, sudachi and pear. Present acidity is accented by pleasant astringency extracted from the skin of Koshu grapes.
