He had a bottle of his wine with him which we tried after the tasting. It was made without adding sulfur dioxide, and it&#8217;s quite lovely. This isn&#8217;t your typical light Koshu wine but has lots of personality. It&#8217;s distinctive and quite beautiful, I think.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11604\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMGP9886-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"katsunuma jyozo misaka\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMGP9886-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMGP9886-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMGP9886-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMGP9886.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Katsunuma Jyozo Misaka 2011 Japan<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is a varietal Koshu made without the addition of sulfur dioxide, from whole bunch pressed grapes &#8211; the press cycle is very gentle and takes 8 hours to complete. 12% alcohol. This is a full yellow colour and it&#8217;s complex, powerful, spicy and has grippy structure, with pear and citrus fruit. There&#8217;s a lovely matchstick\/mineral core to the wine. So fresh and distinctive with amazing precision.
