"Lumière Sparkling" =Traditional method, no dosage. "Orangé"=Orange wine from Koshu grapes.

A rare sparkling orange wine crafted from whole-bunch Koshu, Japan's heritage grape. Vivid orange hues, fresh complexity, and richness are drawn from seeds, skins, and stems using carbonic maceration. A year on lees during secondary bottle fermentation (traditional method) creates body, natural creamy bubbles, and a no-dosage finish.

Lumière, one of the oldest wineries in Japan, has faithfully followed the principle since its founding in 1885 that "to make fine wine, we must grow fine grapes.“ The winery continues this tradition on the land, preserving its heritage. In addition to state-of-the-art equipment and an underground cellar, Lumière still uses Japan's first underground stone fermentation tank “Ishigura”, built in 1901 (Japanese Heritage), to craft rich and flavorful wines. Since the 1970s, Lumière has actively participated in international wine competitions, and its flagship wine, “Château Lumière”, has earned numerous awards, gaining global recognition. In the 2000s, began producing sparkling wines made using traditional secondary bottle fermentation with native Japanese grape varieties, and orange wines made from whole-bunch Koshu grapes, continuing to innovate with wines that pair perfectly with Japanese cuisine. Lumière also practices sustainable vineyard management, including "natural grass viticulture" that utilizes wild grasses and "no-till viticulture" to create soil conditions that maximize the natural qualities of the grapes. The winery strives to grow grapes as naturally as possible. In 2021, Lumière won the Platinum Award at the Decanter World Wine Awards, with the barrel-fermented and aged "Hikari Koshu 2018“ that was made from Koshu grapes, grown in their own vineyard by the natural viticulture. Wishing to be true to its name, Lumière ("light" in English, "Hikari" in Japanese), the winery is trying the best to shine the Japanese wine culture to produce exceptional wines.
