The Kochi region, located on the island of Shikoku in Japan, is a hidden gem for wine enthusiasts seeking to explore unique terroirs. While Japan is often more renowned for its sake, Kochi offers a distinguished subtropical climate that favours the cultivation of specific grape varieties, well-suited to local conditions. With well-drained soils and the sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean, the region provides an ideal environment for producing distinctive wines. Local producers turn to hybrid grape varieties and also experiment with international varieties, crafting fresh, zesty white wines as well as light, elegant reds. Viticulture in Kochi is characterised by an artisanal and environmentally friendly approach, often favouring organic farming. For both novices and connoisseurs, discovering Kochi wines offers an enriching experience, marked by a rich cultural heritage and innovative viticultural passion. Including wines from this region in your cellar adds a touch of the exotic and reflects your boldness to explore still little-known wine horizons.
