Discover the grape 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.

The wine region of Yamanashi-ken
Japanese winemaking heart at the foot of Mount Fuji, signature in Koshu. Identity-driven native white (~90% of Japanese plantings): delicate, precise dry whites with notes of citrus (yuzu, lime), green apple, white flowers and a slightly saline finish, low alcohol and great freshness. Ideal with sushi and Japanese cuisine. Also Chardonnay and Merlot in the altitude zones of Akeno.
The word of the wine: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
