The 2024 Sparkling Koshu opens with a delicate, fine mousse that underscores a bright, lifted profile. The nose is vi-brant and expressive, revealing aromas of fresh pear, green apple, and yuzu, layered with a subtle touch of creamy brioche that lends both elegance and complexity. On the palate, the wine reflects its aromatic profile, offering crisp layers of pear and yuzu, complement-ed by a hint of grapefruit rind. A lively, racy acidity is balanced by a gentle creaminess, leading to a long, clean, and refreshing finish with lingering citrus and mineral nuance. A graceful and expressive spar-kling wine that highlights the finesse and distinctive character of Koshu in sparkling form.
