This is a lovely wine that I got to try this week courtesy of winemaker Youki Hirayama, who was over to judge at the International Wine Challenge. I reviewed one of his other wines a while back. This is a 100% Koshu, Japan’s indigenous variety that’s been grown in the Yamanashi region for some 1200 years. This is made by the Katsunuma Winery.

Attractive stony, mineral nose. Lovely texture here: mineral, focused and very pure with a hint of smokiness. A pretty, expressive wine with a saline minerality and lovely purity, and real precision. 92/100
