ABOUT

The Tsudaka area of Kita Ward, Okayama City, where our vineyard and winery are located,

is the place where greenhouse cultivation of Muscat of Alexandria first began, and historic Tomiyoshi Village was the first to cultivate it as an industry.

Okayama’s famously sunny climate—the “Land of Sunshine”—combines with well-drained soils of decomposed granite,

making the area renowned for fruit growing.

FEATURE STORY

Vineyard

Our approach to winemaking is distinctive. The grapes are grown organically.

We use neither herbicides nor chemical fertilizers, and weeds are left to grow freely. The wine ferments naturally without added yeast or sugar, and we use no sulfur dioxide, making wine from grapes alone.

Wine grapes receive neither fertilizer nor irrigation; by putting the vines under controlled stress, the fruit develops greater concentration.

We grow them with minimal intervention.

Believing in this land's potential for grape growing, I intend to help establish it as a new wine region.

Wine

Wine quality is largely determined by terroir—climate, soil, and other conditions—and by yield per unit area.

For Japanese wine to compete internationally, Japan needs to use distinctive grape varieties suited to its own climate.

A wine's value comes from possessing an individuality found nowhere else.
