Vinoble Vineyard in Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, is currently one of the most closely watched wineries, not only by Japanese wine fans but even by wine lovers who usually prefer overseas grands vins.
Although it is a relatively new winery that opened in 2021, it drew immediate attention after its Sauvignon Blanc was awarded the world's highest score among GOLD medal winners at the IWSC 2022 (International Wine & Spirit Competition 2022), a prestigious global wine competition held shortly thereafter.
RELATED STORYhttps://nihonwine.jp/new-update/news/vinoblevineyard-interviewBeyond grape growing and winemaking at his own winery, representative Takashi Yokomachi is widely involved in the design and construction of vineyard facilities, nursery vine sales, and grape-growing/winemaking consulting, earning tremendous trust not only from wine drinkers but also from fellow winemakers.
All of Mr. Yokomachi's wines enjoy overwhelming popularity, selling out shortly after release.
Now, a maker's dinner will be held where guests can thoroughly savor seven wines—including those sold-out items—while listening to his in-depth discussions on winemaking, which even industry peers eagerly express a desire to hear.
An astonishing lineup for a one-night-only special maker's dinner!
While every wine is wonderful, the most remarkable highlight is that you can enjoy a 4-vintage vertical tasting of Pinot Noir!
As a self-acknowledged and widely recognized clone fanatic, his meticulously crafted Pinot Noir is extremely difficult to acquire each year.
At this dinner, you will have the chance to compare and taste four vintages, including the latest 2021 vintage as well as the already sold-out 2016, 2017, and 2019 vintages.
The venue is Shiodome's The Momentum by Porsche, the world's first Porsche-certified restaurant.
You can savor authentic Italian cuisine in an elegant space where adults with an appreciation for authenticity and true quality gather.
This is an extremely rare opportunity to enjoy legendary wines alongside fine dining and leisurely conversation with Mr. Yokomachi, who stays exceedingly busy traveling all over Japan.
The event is limited to just 27 seats.
If you are interested, booking early is highly recommended.
