Manufacturer’s message:
Our Tobi-nogaoka Koshu white wine is both fresh and substantial, making it perfect for a variety of dishes. We are committed to creating wines that are free from unwanted flavors and have a pure taste, making them the perfect companion for your daily dinner table. Personally, I like to pair it with fried food such as fried pork cutlets or butter-fried meatballs. The refreshing bitterness unique to Koshu can make the taste even more refreshing. This slightly spicy white wine is also a great choice to drink during outdoor picnics!
I joined Suntory Company in 2021. As a cultivator, I inspect the growth of grapes every day. Although I have worked in the wine industry before and have experience growing grapes, Tobi-nogaoka Vineyard is very different from other vineyards. There are vast fields, ridges and slopes with unique characteristics. We need to carefully identify the characteristics of each area for cultivation. This is challenging work, but also fulfilling. To harvest fine grapes, proper cultivation must be carried out on quality trees. For example, when cultivating the "Koshu" variety, it is necessary to keep the thickness of the branches and the size of the ears consistent so that they can mature evenly. It's simple in theory, but quite difficult in practice. When the ideal grapes are finally harvested, the joy is enough to bring tears. In the future, I will continue to adhere to the principle of on-site first and produce wines that I can be proud of.
