Grace Winery - Hishiyama Private Reserve 2023
93/100
Decanter
"Discover a little gem from the Hishiyama district: a 100% Koshu wine—made from a native Japanese grape variety—that’s delightfully aromatic and unique!"
“ The Hishiyama vineyard features mineral-rich granite soils, and this whole-cluster-pressed wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. It offers a complex nose of orange essential oil, yuzu peel, and white peach. The palate is flavorful with green and white fruits, delicate and balanced with an oily texture. Lime and hints of sweet spices give way to notes of melon and umami on the long finish. 2025–2028” (Decanter 2025) – screw cap
