  Colourwise I've spotted not much than an overwhelmingly lush hue of white gold. My nose has been gently tickled by fragrances of mildly juicy cantaloupe, Japanese Enoki mushrooms, almond blossoms, hints of seaweed and assorted powdery detergents. Everything rather shy and lean. On my palate there were sensations of freshly cut twigs – green ones, including plenty of other aromas which showed reduced and overall fitting pithiness, some Yuzu lemon zest, some shell'y cantaloupe – both mostly rather shy, again Enoki mushrooms and a very respectable lively touch of acid. Aromawise it reminded me a bit of Chasselas from Vaud. Just a bit! For a start (to undermine my ill fit comparison): the acid was much more vital than in any Chasselas I've ever tasted. Anyway, a light and delicate wine with plenty of distinct tart character and obvious marriage qualities with fishy Japanese dishes - perhaps grilled ones. For me a downright interesting and enjoyable wine experience.

  Another new grape to me; Koshu. Great sweet, ripe aromas of peach and melon and some floral notes too. thge palate has weight and complexity of white peach and good acidity to make it a delightful, easy drinking wine.
