Grace Shugoro
Yamanashi, Japan
Calming garnet with an orange rim. Intense and complex ripe bouquet of figs, raisins, dry flowers, bitter chocolate. Richly sweet and mellow on the pallet, pure, with a long finish.
A personal favourite sweet wine of the late writer Shūgorō Yamamoto. The wine is matured in oak barrels for a few years, resulting in a complex flavour. A perfect match for dessert and blue cheese. The calligraphy on the label was Yamamoto’s own handwriting, in the spirit of praising the wine.
Grape variety: Muscat Bailey A & Koshu – fortified with Cognac
Alc. 16%

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.
