Château Mercian, Iwasaki Koshu, Yamanashi 2020

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. Fermented and aged in oak for 4 months, the nose delivers notes of citrus aromas of kabosu and yuzu, with notes of white flowers, vanilla, almonds and hazelnuts. Refreshing balanced acidity, rich fruit flavours and concentrated citrus oil are well integrated with the time spent in barrel. A study in texture, acidity and finish.
