CHANTER Y.A SHIMO IWASAKI KOSHU 2023

Made from Koshu grapes grown in the Shimo-Iwasaki district of Katsunuma in Yamanashi prefecture. This wine is produced using Sur lie method. After a short period of skin contact with whole bunches before pressing, polyphenols are extracted from the skins resulting in a faintly cloudy appearance and a deep, slightly “gris” hue. The colour is relatively intense, with a hint of fine effervescence and crisp acidity. Quite different from the typical light and delicate style of Koshu which has notable richness and weight on the palate like Chardonnay.
