Grace Koshu Misawa Vineyard 2021
Yamanashi, Japan
“Cuvee Misawa Koshu” was born from the belief in Koshu’s potential, not needing to rely on conventional vinification techniques such as chaptalisation, acid adjustments and sur lie, which were deemed necessary. The wine was reborn as a new”wine of terroir” after further research – the “Koshu Misawa Vineyard”.
Koshu grapes grown at the Misawa Vineyard yield less than 30hl/ha. They are harvested separately by parcel and sometimeseven by vine, and then vinified using indigenous yeasts from thevineyard. Malolactic fermentation, which is rare for Koshu, occursnaturally, giving the wine a taste that is distinctly different fromprevious Koshu wines. With its full-bodied aroma and soft,complex depth, this is a wine that has the potential to age well.

Winery Profile
GRACE WINE – Yamanashi
Established in 1923 in Katsunuma, this family-owned winery established by Chotaro Misawa is now run by his fourth-generation successor Shigekazu Misawa, whose daughter Ayana is in charge of winemaking. The main-winery is still in Katsunuma and produces primarily Koshu. Since 1990 the family has been concentrating its efforts on improvements in grape production. The winery’s goal is a wine reflecting a unique combination of soil, sunlight, and altitude. It has been a pioneer in replacing conventional Japanese viniculture with vertical shoot positioning to produce a more richly flavoured grape. The goal is wines that are eco-friendly, with a natural, gallant and quietly elegant taste.
