Grace Wine Shugoro グレイス 周五郎

This is a fortified wine made from the indigenous Japanese varieties Muscat Bailey A and Koshu, with grape spirit added during fermentation. It is characterised by the depth of flavour from over four years of maturation in barrels, and natural sweetness from the grapes.
