Description
In a nutshell:
An elegant and delicate white wine made from a native Japanese grape variety from the Yamanashi province.
The lowdown:
Grace Wine was established in 1923, in the Katsunuma province, the birthplace of the Japanese wine industry. Committed to the belief that great wine is made in the vineyard, they were the first to research and introduce European training and pruning methods in the 1990. Made from Japan's most important indigenous grapes: Koshu. The grapes for this wine are grown on the foothills of Mt. Kayagatake from estate managed vineyards at an altitude of 400 to 700 metres. The winemaking philosophy emphasises preserving the healthy state of the grapes by ensuring harvest took place at the optimum time. Rapid crushing and anaerobic juice handling is crucial to produce clean, natural and pure wines, bringing out the full potential of the fruit. Fermentation too place in stainless steel tanks at carefully controlled temperatures, to ensure the purity of the fruit and the terroir was fully expressed. Elegant aromas of green apple, grapefruit, chamomile, and white pepper lead to a smooth, bone-dry palate. This is a delicate yet tense white wine, with a lively acidity that gives beautiful structure through to a long mouthwatering finish.
When to drink:
The structure of this wine would suit best being served alongside shellfish or lean fish dishes.
