This wine is the finest expression of the indigenous variety, Koshu, from the star producer of Japan's budding wine scene.
Hand-picked from a pebble-ridden vineyard at 450m altitude, this cool, calm, textural white wine demands quiet contemplation.
A selection of the finest fruit from this site and ageing in a combination of aged oak barrels and stainless gives this a little added body over the straight Toriibira Vineyard Selection.
It is a dry white wine with a balanced acidity, minerals & white pepper. On the nose it has elements of grapefruit, lemongrass and white flowers.
