This wine is crafted 100% from Koshu, a grape variety unique to Japan, using carbonic maceration, a method that gently extracts umami and colour from the skins and seeds. It displays a vivid orange hue and fine, delicate bubbles created through secondary fermentation in the bottle. Non-dosage gives the wine a crisp, dry finish. The balanced rainfall and sunshine in 2022 produced grapes with excellent ripeness, purity, and refined acidity, highlighting the unique character of Japan’s indigenous Koshu grape.

Tasting Notes

The palate is dry and richly textured, offering layered flavors with soft aromas of apricot, plum, and pear, complemented by subtle bitter notes reminiscent of orange peel. This wine finishes clean and precise, highlighting its depth and expressive character.
Lumiere Orange pairs well with umami-rich dishes such as roasted chicken or pork, vegetable tempura, and grilled fish. Its dry, structured profile and subtle bitterness also complement duck dishes, savory Asian cuisine, and creamy mushroom or cheese-based dishes.
