Description
 
Established in the 1988 in Hokkaido as the 2nd Winery of the well-known Grace Wine (中央葡萄酒) from Yamanashi. The winery is now famous for its wine using high quality grapes grown and harvested in Hokkaido region, but during the early days, the winery was using local grape Haskap for their wine as Japanese wine was booming at the time for simple sweet easy-drinking wine. The winery facility is a huge building built of stock and rock in the Showa period as a grain warehouse.

Since 1993, the winery has started to cultivate and manage its own vineyard, reaching 2.0 hectare (2020) focusing in Pinot Noir. The vineyard is East slope facing and the soil type is tuffaceous sandstone. But they have also been working with a local grape farm - The Kimura Vineyard, who has been cultivating Pinot Noir in Yoichi area since the late 1980s. The winery has been separated from the mother company Grace Wine in 2011 and since 2012, they have released the Pinot Noir Private Reserve as their flagship wine every year.

Made with Kerner 100% grown in Kimura Vineyard, average age of vines are at 30 years old. A fresh fruity white wine with a crispy finish. Presenting fruity characters such as green apple and pear on the nose, and on the palate, it begins with a soft natural sweetness from the grapes itself, then followed by hints of saltiness (umami) from the minerality as well as some green tannin from the seeds.
