The Yamanashi region, nestled in the heart of Japan, is a hidden gem yet to be discovered by wine enthusiasts worldwide. Renowned for its perfect balance between traditional and innovative winemaking, Yamanashi is the oldest wine-producing region in Japan, rich in history and expertise. At the foot of the majestic Mount Fuji, the vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate offering ideal conditions for vine cultivation. Sunny days and cool nights promote the development of intense aromas and a balanced acidity, characteristic of the wines from this region.
Yamanashi particularly excels in the production of Koshu, an indigenous white grape variety, which produces light and refined wines with notes of citrus and white flowers. This enticing typicity delights the palate and pairs wonderfully with Asian cuisine. In addition to Koshu, the region also cultivates numerous international grape varieties such as Merlot and Chardonnay, thus offering a diverse range of wines.
For cellar managers, Yamanashi represents a unique opportunity to enrich their collection with exceptional wines that exemplify the fusion of Japanese cultural heritage and the art of modern winemaking.
