Chateau Mercian Fuefuki Koshu Gris de Gris

Château Mercian Fuefuki Koshu Gris de Gris is an exceptional expression of 100% Koshu grape, sourced from the revered Fuefuki district in Japan's Yamanashi Prefecture. This wine achieves its distinctive character and gentle pink-orange hue through delicate skin contact, a technique that enriches the body and complexity. On the nose, it offers a warm, luscious aroma reminiscent of tea, apple compote, and quince. The palate is beautifully complex and three-dimensional, presenting a fine balance of pleasant acidity and a subtle, refreshing astringency akin to black tea. Expect layered notes of yogurt and peach compote, culminating in a full-bodied, satisfying taste. This dry white wine is an ideal pairing for Asian dishes, such as spring rolls or shrimp, or rich creamy meals like asparagus risotto.
