About this wine
On a night when you want to drink a crisp white, let's reach for the 750ml melodia KOSHU (white) from INOUE winery, a winery based in Kochi Prefecture. It's made with 100% Koshu grapes from Yamanashi Prefecture, finished using the sur lie method where it's aged with the lees after fermentation. The alcohol content is 12% and the volume is 750ml.
This bottle expresses the characteristics of sur lie, with flavors and umami derived from the yeast. It presents itself as a crisp, dry wine. While it has a light-bodied style, the essential elements derived from its production method quietly fill the bottle.
It is said to pair exceptionally well with Japanese cuisine in general, especially with seafood, making today's meal transform into a moment that quietly fills the contours of this white wine.
