Kagoshima's first winery, born in a fruit paradise
In 2020, Kagoshima Prefecture’s first wine brewery opened in “Kirishima Sakura Fruit Land,” where visitors can experience seasonal fruit picking and other activities. It took more than 15 years to realize the plan to grow grapes in a facility of about ten Tokyo Dome (45,000㎡) on a vast 420,000㎡ site and “use grapes harvested in the garden to make Kirishima wine”.
Grape picking is available from July to November. From July to October, you can enjoy barbecues under the grape vines.
At the foot of the Kirishima mountain ranges there is a large temperature difference. This is where our farm lies and where we grow big and good grapes. With underground water, we have improved quality of the soil using our self-created compost to carefully grow our grapes.
Cultivating more than 35 breeds of grape
In our vineyard, we cultivate more than 35 breeds of grape, including, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon, as well as edible grapes. Grapes that perfectly match with wine are carefully selected depending on the year’s grape maturation.
We aim to deliver the allure of Kirishima-produced wine nationwide by utilizing 100% of our self-cultivated grapes.
Striving for an organic winemaking process that minimizes additives to draw out the authentic taste of grapes to the fullest extent possible. Our range includes red (dry), white (dry), rosé, dessert wine (sweet), as well as various products such as mini bottles and barrel-aged red (dry). Available for purchase at our on-site shop and antenna shops within Kagoshima city.
A single bottle where the richness of Kirishima-grown grapes is condensed within.
An unfiltered, lightly effervescent wine bottled to capture the light, natural flavor of grapes. With fine bubbles and a refreshing grape aroma, it boasts a fresh acidity and a clear, fruity taste. Highly recommended even for those new to wine, as a souvenir from the southern paradise of Kagoshima. A 375ml mini bottle is also newly available.
