When thinking about Japan, and its wine in particular, freshness and purity of fruit is top of mind. On that basis, I enjoyed the Grace Kayagatake Koshu in the past. This is an entry level wine from a vineyard at the bottom of the Kayagatake mountain.
I am a bit disappointed with the 2021 Grace Kayagatake Koshu. Yes, it is clean and pure, but it lacks the precision and definition of some previous years. This is a light coloured wine, with white flower, citrus, and some slight grapefruit flavours. It goes well with Sashimi and Sushi. I recommend to drink the wine fridge cold to eliminate some of the rather plump structure.
Score: 87/0
