Frank Kämmer, Mestre Sommelier, tasting note published in October 22nd 2023

Light, attractive, and fine bouquet of candied apricots and quinces, white nougat, raisins, sweet vanilla, candied orange zest, and preserved tropical fruits. Remarkably elegant and precisely balanced on the palate. Silky texture and a fine body with rounded shoulders. Sublime and with feminine charm in the long finish.

KOYA

Where sophistication meets tradition; our brandy is a tale told in taste.”

KOYA brandy is produced on the Shandong peninsula, on the outskirts of the beautiful city of Yantai, a classic wine-growing region in China with a long history.

Served at numerous state banquets, it became a popular gift in diplomatic circles in the 1950s. Currently, it is the market leader in brandy sales in China. A true expression of Chinese distilling art and a must-try brandy for brandy lovers worldwide.

Koya is the market leader in China, accounting for 96% of brandy sales in the country.

Gravel and sandy loam soils create an ideal terroir for growing Ugni Blanc. Deep-rooted vines benefit from minerals and nutrients in the subsoil, and the coastal climate allows for the production of high-quality grapes.

After selection, Ugni Blanc grapes undergo a temperature-controlled double yeast fermentation process, an exclusive method granted a Chinese National Patent.

Distillation is carried out in both traditional Charentaise-style pot stills and column stills, separating the “head” and “tail” fractions from the purest “heart” of the distilled brandy.

Minimum aging of 6 years in oak barrels of various sizes from Limousin, France.
