Grace Wine - Koshu
2021
This Koshu wine, made by the Misawa family, is a true representation of what the indigenous grape variety can achieve in the hilly regions of Katsunuma, Yamanashi GI. The grapes are grown at an altitude above 400m and harvested with great care to bring out their transparency, freshness, delicate fruitiness, and refined characters. This approach has earned the wine numerous awards, including five consecutive gold medals at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
Nose– Fresh, delicate Japanese citrus aromas with a touch of white flowers and nuances of lemongrass. Palate – Dry, crisp, delicate, Soft and subtle in the mouth, balanced by a spicy note of white pepper, which lingers on the palate.

From the foothills of Mount Fuji ...
With a history that can be traced back over a century, Grace Wine and the Misawa family are at the forefront of producing quality, age-worthy Koshu. Grace Wine views the essence of wine as the deliciousness derived from aging. It upholds traditional Japanese craftsmanship without being swayed by trends, focusing on the power of grapes and the flavor of the terroir rather than just winemaking techniques. Its philosophy is to envelop the beauty of Japan's nature in wine.
The wineyards, chosen for their sunlight exposure, altitude, drainage, and air circulation, are carefuly tended with meticulous, detailed handwork that draws out the strength of the grapes while engaging in a dialogue with nature.

How it tastes.
Three pairings.
Lamb chops, charred
The thyme picks up grilled rosemary; the brightness cuts the fat.
Mezze table
Hummus, muhammara, kibbeh — high notes for a low‑slung table.
Mushroom risotto
A vegetarian match. The wine’s salinity reads as savoury.
