Description:
A blend of Koshu from partner growers in Yamagata and Chardonnay from the estate vineyard in Miyagi, this is a light, mineral driven wine with a delicate profile and just 9% alcohol. The grapes are fermented and aged separately in stainless steel for four months before being blended and finished in neutral French oak for another seven months.
On the nose, green tea and lemon curd. On the palate, pear and lemon peel come through alongside a subtle minerality and soft acidity. Fresh, balanced, and easy to drink, with a long finish.
