ABOUT

Hoki Town lies at the foot of Mt. Daisen, a 1,729-meter national-park peak and the highest mountain in the Chugoku region.

Because Daisen resembles Mt. Fuji, it is also called “Hoki Fuji.”

Our wines are made with the many gifts bestowed by this Hoki Fuji—Mt. Daisen.

FEATURE STORY

Vineyard

The vineyard lies on distinctive local soil: fertile, well-drained volcanic ash formed by eruptions over tens of thousands of years and enriched with abundant organic matter from burned kaya grass and pampas grass.\n\nAt an elevation of about 300 meters, the site benefits from the pronounced day-night temperature swings of a highland climate. It is also close to an area where snowmelt from Mt. Daisen naturally springs from the ground, and this pure water helps bring out the freshness and juiciness of the grapes. The area is blessed with excellent conditions for growing high-quality grapes.

Winery

Immediately after harvest, the grapes are destemmed, crushed, and pressed as appropriate for red and white winemaking, then transferred to tanks.\n\nFermentation proceeds in tank, converting the sugars into alcohol and transforming the juice into wine. After two to three months, the wine enters its maturation stage through barrel aging or bottling.

Shop

Five to six different wines are released throughout the year, both at the winery shop and online. Please feel free to ask the staff about any of the wines.\n\nGift wrapping and parcel delivery are also available.
