Lumiere Winery Sparkling Koshu Mitsuki Skin Contact Traditional Method Gi Yamanashi - 750 ML

Lumiere “Mitsuki” Skin-Contact Sparkling Koshu is a traditional-method Japanese sparkling orange wine from Yamanashi, made entirely from estate-grown Koshu grapes.. It is whole-cluster fermented with indigenous yeast; in addition, just like a zero dosage champagne it undergoes secondary bottle fermentation without dosage. To add more complexity to the wine it rests on lees for 11 months. On the palate you can expect a dry, finely textured sparkler with gentle tannic grip from skin contact, citrus and stone-fruit character, subtle savory/umami notes, and a creamy bead. We recommend pairing this beautiful sparkling with Japanese dishes, especially strong ones such as tempura, yakitori, gyoza, and richer seafood dishes, or fried snacks.
