Description
Focus on Yamanashi Local Grape Varieties
This winery was officially established in 1959 by the local fruit growers in Enzan region (currently in Koshu city), Yamanashi prefecture. As well as wine grapes, a fruit growing industry for table grapes and peaches was developed just after the world war II in this region, then this winery started vinification with their local grown grapes at that time. Recently they produce wines from grapes grown both in their estate and contracted vineyards. This winery focuses on Japanese cultivars representing Koshu, while not growing any of European vinifera grapes.
