Delicate, taut whites with a pale, slightly pinkish robe (grey-pink skin), an airy palate and fresh acidity, with subtle aromas of citrus (yuzu, grapefruit), green apple, white flowers, pear, almond and saline mineral notes. Slightly bitter, refined finish. Signature of the modern whites of Yamanashi (around Mount Fuji) and the locomotive of Japanese wine exports. Autochthonous hybrid variety (vinifera × vitis amurensis), cultivated in Japan for over a thousand years.
