This is a classic style of Koshu and, with no time spent on the lees, shows a typical wine from this varietal grape. This Koshu has a light intensity aroma, which gives the wine a subtleness and delicacy. The savoury note on the palate is reminiscent of perfumed almonds and cashew nuts, making it a perfect match for an evening tipple with savoury snacks.
 
Soryu Winery was founded by relatives of Masanari Takano and Ryuken Tsuchiya, who traveled to France to learn the proper French winemaking techniques and then pioneered winemaking in Japan. Soryu is one of Katsunuma’s most historic wineries with annual production equivalent to 1.2 million bottles. Third generation winemaker Takui Suzuki provides meticulous management of the winemaking process and works with Hiromi Suzuki, the talented fourth generation in this winemaking family, to produce extraordinary new wines.
 
Soryu's Koshu has won various gold prizes in the Koshu category in The Japan Wine Competition in recent years. Soryu’s many prizes in wine competitions are evidence of the quality of outstanding wines crafted and steadily improved through the experience of four successive generations of winemakers.
