Grace Wine Cuvee Misawa Blanc 2019
Yamanashi, Japan
Our Chardonnay, which grows in cool climate at an altitude of 700 m, is harvested at its perfect maturity after it turned golden in colour. Of the three Chardonnay parcels at the Misawa Vineyard, only grapes from sections with the best air circulation are used, rigorously selected for vinification into Cuvée Misawa Blanc, followed by gentle whole bunch press, then fermented and matured mostly in old French oak barrels.
The limited production flagship white Cuvée Misawa uses only grapes grown with the meticulous attention of Shigekazu Misawa, the owner of Grace. The Winery rigorously select grapes grown at Misawa Estate Vineyards at Akeno-cho which boasts the longest growing season sunshine hours in Japan. Grace winery strive for a natural vinification to the greatest extent without the use of any herbicides or chemical fertilisers . As one of the top level Chardonnay in Japan, the wine is bottle-aged for a few years before going on sale. In order to preserve terroir, new oak percentages have been lowered.

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.
