KISVIN
Winery: Kisvin
Founded: 2013
Kisvin winery is the work of 37 year-old winemaker Mayu Saito. Kisvin currently farms 14 grapes on 5 hectares of wineyards near Koshu city. Grape varieties include international varietals such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Zinfandel but also include local varietals such as Koshu. Grape cultivation has been active in the region since the Nara period [ca. 710-794]. The wines of Kisvin are modern and yet restrained on the palate; the hard work of a single mother deeply invested in putting Japanese wine on the world map.
YAMANASHI
Tasting Notes
Clean, crisp and fruity. Comparable to Pinot Gris and/or Gewurztraminer in the sense that the skins of the grapes are lightly purple in coloration. Koshu is a grape native to the Yamanashi region; "Kushu" in fact is the former name for "Yamanashi". Koshu wines are characterized by pale, straw colors and aromatic, fruity tones.
