Did you know? When winemaking first began in Takayama Village ~30 years ago, Chardonnay was the very first grape planted there ๐ฑ

Made with Chardonnay from multiple districts across Takayama village, from high to low elevations & grown by several different farmers. The makeup and ratio of each siteโs grapes change slightly every year.
Each cuvรฉe is vinified differently: one might be crafted to highlight aroma, another to emphasize depth and body โ through careful use of yeasts and temperature control. These are later blended before bottling to achieve perfect harmony. Itโs a style of winemaking that could only happen in a village like Takayama, where elevation varies dramatically from vineyard to vineyard. ๐
Juice from older vines is fermented and aged in oak, resulting in a soft vanilla-scented richness, which beautifully complements the fresh yellow fruit aromas developed through stainless steel fermentation.
