More informations about the variety Koshu

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.

More informations about the region of Rheingau

Historic cradle of great German Riesling: age-worthy whites of rare precision, from taut dry (Trocken) to botrytised sweet (Auslese, Beerenauslese, TBA) with notes of peach, citrus, acacia honey, noble petrol and slatey minerality. Riesling king on ~80% of the vineyard. Also Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir, 8%), notably the fine, silky Assmannshausen. 3,100 ha on south-facing slopes overlooking the Rhine (Hesse).
