Verkostungsnotizen
Authentischer knackiger Weißwein. Brillantes Weißgelb mit grünlichem Schimmer. Markante mineralische Attacke mit Feuerstein, Fruchtblüten und weißen Beeren. Feiner eleganter Geschmack mit viel frischer Säure und enthaltenem Alkohol. Superfeine edle Textur mit vielen feinen Zitrusnoten im Abgang. Köstlicher Aperitifwein oder zu eingelegtem Weißfisch, Muscheln und Frühgemüse. Passt auch gut zu roh marinierten Meeresfrüchten und Frischkäse. Serviertemperatur: 8°C
Wine Story
The colour of Japan - I remember when I was a child, my grandfather would let me sniff Koshu and said to me “This is the aroma of vinifera”. My father would bring me to the sun-bathed vineyards, showed me a bunch of Koshu grapes, lucid with a light purplish shade under the sun, and said to me “This is a restrained Japanese colour”.
Koshu has pale carnation pink skin rather than bright pink like vivid or hot pink, shy and unpretentious Japanese people might see themselves in Koshu’s low-key color. Inherited from my family’s passion, I grew up together with Koshu. Koshu is said to arrive from the far-away South Caucasus over 1,000 years ago. Throughout the years, it not only has not faced extinction but instead was integrated into our soils.
To us winemakers brought up in Yamanashi, no matter where Koshu came from, it will not change the fact that it is our most treasured grape variety. Koshu continues to thrive. Its hidden potential, occasionally revealed, has impressed me time and again.
I hope you will enjoy the taste my provenance and my family have taught me to appreciate.
