Grace Koshu Hishiyama Vineyard 2021

Welcome to the heights of Katsunuma, where the grapes grow at a lofty 500-600m in the Hishiyama area—home to a patchwork of diverse soils and scattered granite formations. It's here, in this rugged beauty, that Kazuo Misawa, the third-generation owner, finds his inspiration. This wine is all about freshness and finesse, with its vibrant acidity cutting through the air like a mountain breeze. The minerality is smoky and refined, a true reflection of the land it comes from. The grapes are carefully protected with rain shades (talk about luxury!), hand-harvested, and then selected for fermentation in stainless steel tanks, which preserves that crisp, pure character. It’s a wine that gives you a taste of place—a bright, zesty, and mineral-driven delight that takes you right to the heart of Hishiyama.
