2022 Grace Kushu Misawa Akeno
$ 200.00 AUD
The pinnacle release from Grace Wines. "Cuvée Misawa Akeno Koshu" was born from the belief in Koshu's potential, not needing to rely on conventional vinification techniques such as chaptalisation, acid adjustments and sur lie, which were deemed necessary. Hand-harvest, gentle, long press. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation and maturation in stainless steel tanks or old French oak barrels for 7 months.

About the wine
Tasting notes
The 2022 vintage was one of the greatest on record for this wine and the result is exactly what Akeno has always aimed to create. Lime zest, green apple, white peach, pear, chamomile, and subtle spice. Palate is smooth, bone dry, with taut acidity, smoky minerality, and soft complexity from natural malolactic fermentation.
