Pure and Refined Japanese White Wine
Grace Koshu Private Reserve 2023 offers a beautifully clean and crisp profile with vibrant aromas of fresh pear, white peach, honeysuckle, rosemary, and subtle hints of clove and wet stone minerality. The palate is dry, with an elegant mouthfeel and refreshing acidity. A backbone of juicy, ripe citrus and orchard fruits carries through to a long, savoury finish, touched by a whisper of umami.

Key Vintage Information – 2023 Growing Season Insights
The 2023 vintage benefited from ideal growing conditions. Budburst began early due to a warm spring, and the ‘rainy season’ was shorter than usual, allowing berries to ripen evenly with excellent sugar-acid balance. Low rainfall and significant day-night temperature swings contributed to vibrant acidity and flavour concentration, culminating in an expressive and well-structured wine.

Winery | This wine is made from Japan's most important indigenous grape variety, Koshu, grown in Japan's top Koshu-producing region: Katsunuma. Situated at the eastern end of the Kofu basin, the Katsunuma area is an alluvial fan with well-drained soils. This area has been suitable for viticulture since ancient times. The characteristic, intricate terrain with complex volcanic soils produces wines that distinguish the sense of place. The vines are grown at elevations of above 400 metres; these high-altitude, hilly areas, such as the Toriihira in Katsunuma, Hishiyama and Fukasawa districts, produce limited yields, concentrated flavours and balancing acidity due to the diurnal temperature swings. Traditional trellis pruning has been cast aside in favour of a modern long-cordon training system that helps control yields, concentrating flavours and sugars to balance the high acidity naturally occurring in this variety. Each bunch is covered with an umbrella to reduce the effects of autumn rain, and the fruit is hand-picked at optimal maturity. |
