We are mostly proud of our ongoing commitment to producing wine.
Our factory manager honestly speaks, "We are still challengers".
Being committed to produce the best wine year after year, we never shrink from the difficulties to make some changes to our winemaking process, such as temperature, humidity, fermentation...
We have never taken the record of awards for granted.
We believe that our commitment leads to a solid experience and make the wine fragrant and inspiringly tasty.
"At least 100 years of experience is necessary to become a standard as a winery"
Winemaking is an endless journey, and we keep aiming for higher goals.
These words show our sincere passion for winemaking.
Hiruzen Winery - Lovers of wild vine -
Wild vine is a climbing plant native to Japan down the ages.
Among 1,000 wild vines in Hiruzen plateau, we have been selecting and cultivating trees bearing grapes with high sugar content and low acidity, for over than 10 years.
Through trial and error, we have finally succeeded to ensure a stable supply of wild vine wines.
Wild vine grown in Hiruzen is sweet and has a darker skin compared to the ones grown in Tohoku region, due to climate differences such as sunlight hours.
Why do we age wine in oak barrels?
No two barrels are alike, each barrel is slightly unique in terms of aging speed,aroma, end results and contribution to the wine flavor. Barrel aging imparts greatercomplexity and depth to delicate wild vine wines.
