ABOUT

Born as the third winery in Yoichi Town after Yoichi Wine and Domaine Takahiko.

It is a small winery run by a husband and wife.

All wines from dedicated wine-grape varieties are made from 100% estate-grown grapes.

Natural fermentation with wild yeast is used, with vinification practiced in a way that resists nature as little as possible.

FEATURE STORY

Our Estate Vineyard, “Kaze no Vineyard”

Our estate vineyard, with about 3 hectares under vine, lies on a gentle south-facing slope at the southernmost edge of the Nobori district in Yoichi. We named it “Kaze no Vineyard,” or “Vineyard of the Wind,” because southerly winds pass through toward Yoichi Bay.

We grow Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Merlot.

Believing there is much to learn from coexisting with insects commonly called “pests,” we cultivate the vineyard while disturbing its ecosystem as little as possible.

Pursuing Terroir

To pursue a clearer expression of terroir, we make wine through spontaneous fermentation using wild yeast. Our traditional-method sparkling wines are likewise fermented naturally with wild yeast.

We also move wine by gravity wherever possible, and even bottling is done with a gravity-fed filler to minimize stress on the wine.
