About the producer
The Charm of Meticulous Grape Cultivation and Wild Yeast Fermentation
In the 1950s, a vineyard opened on a mountain by junior high school students who struggled with arithmetic and literacy and their teacher has never been exposed to herbicides since its cultivation.
Coco Farm & Winery, born at the foot of this mountain in 1980, started winemaking in 1984. Currently, the vineyard does not use any chemical fertilizers or herbicides, and the brewery focuses on natural fermentation with wild yeast to brew wine from 100% Japanese grapes.
From sparkling wines with secondary fermentation in the bottle to dessert wines, they are joyfully making wine while listening to the 'voices' of the grapes saying, 'This is what we want to become.
Also, the stratum of finely shattered Jurassic rocks, like mille-feuille, creates moderate stress for the grapes in the rainy climate, which leads to the production of good quality grapes.
