An orange Koshu produced by macerating the wine on skins for 13 days and then aged partially in old oak barrels. Caramelised red apple, strawberry and cherry candy on the nose. A pinch of sweet spices add to the palate of red apple and nutty, umami notes, supported by extracted grip and lifted by good freshness (5.9g/L).
