Made from 100% Japanese Koshu (grape)

Tasting Notes:

Katsunuma Jyozo Arugano Bosque Koshu is made using fruit sourced from younger vines on the famous Isehara vineyard.

It is aromatic, intense with tropical characters on the nose, such as passionfruit, and even grapefruit, with lovely complexity.

Beautiful linear palate, crisp acid and salty finish, with wonderful purity and length.

Limited release.
