Grace Koshu
Tasting Notes
The wine has a pale lemon yellow color with a shimmering green tint. The aromas unfold with grapefruit, green apple, satsuma mandarin, white peach, pear, and white floral notes reminiscent of acacia, along with a hint of white pepper spice. The attack is smooth and mellow. The concentrated fruit flavors are rich, and the body is noticeable. In the mid-palate, a smooth texture expands in the mouth, where the fruitiness and acidity are in harmony. The finish gracefully continues with a subtle bitterness, accompanied by umami and acidity. This is a well-balanced wine that showcases the richness of fruit alongside delicate, refreshing acidity.
