Brief Description

Dry Japanese orange wine made from 100% Kōshū grapes from Katsunuma. Fermented together with skins and seeds. Complex aromas of Japanese mandarin, pink grapefruit, dried rose petals, and Hōjicha meet crisp acidity, fine spice, and a pleasantly tart structure.

Origin & Style

The name “Kamoshi” refers to the skin-contact fermentation (maceration) of this wine: the juice, skins, and seeds of the Kōshū grapes are fermented together. This intensive contact with the grape skins gives the wine its light orange-pink color, complex aromatics, and a pleasantly tart structure.

The grapes originate from Katsunuma in Kōshū City, the historic center of viticulture in Yamanashi Prefecture. Following maceration, the 2024 vintage was aged in stainless steel. This allows the wine to retain its clear fruit and fresh acidity, while fine spice and subtle tannins provide additional depth.
