Japan

Japanese vineyards, mainly concentrated in regions such as Yamanashi, Nagano, and Hokkaido, have adopted scrupulous winemaking practices influenced by their meticulous culture. Japanese winemakers grow both indigenous and international grape varieties, such as Koshu and Merlot, producing wines with a distinct Japanese character.

The cool climate and volcanic soils contribute to crisp whites and elegant reds, while precise craftsmanship is evident in their labelling with characteristically minimalist designs. Japanese wines are gaining recognition and awards, adding an interesting dimension to the global wine landscape.

2021 Chateau Mercian, Koshu Gris de Gris

Since 1995, Mitsuhiro Anzo has made wine at Chateau Mercian. This wine is made from Koshu grapes (480 hectares in Japan) which are grown in the North West of Tokyo (Fuefuki district, Yamanashi prefecture) at over 400 metres altitude. The grapes are picked at the end of September to early October. Three weeks are spent on skins to achieve the vibrant orange hue. After a classic fermentation process, the wine is aged in oak barrels for 8 months.
