ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
ARUGANO BRANCA ISSEHARA
Lemon-yellow tint with slight pink veil, low viscosity. Unlike the general rep of Koshu wines having little aroma, this has a rich abundance of aromas. Elegant and juicy aromas of white floral and ripe white peach, satsuma mandarin, green apple, asian pear, all balanced with the youthful acidity of lime and pink grapefruit. It has a gentle sweetness, smooth acidity balanced with Japanese citrus fruits and minerality.
