Miyoshi Wine has launched the TOMOÉ brand, which is different from the traditional sweet souvenir wines, and is working to produce world-class, high-quality wines.
Naoyuki Ota, who studied winemaking in New Zealand, became the chief winemaker, and the winery has grown into a full-fledged winery, winning numerous awards.
TOMOÉ brand won the Silver Award at the IWSC International Wine and Sprit Competition 2018.
Miyoshi is a city of water where three rivers converge. The water from the rivers becomes mist, and the mist is an important element of wine.
The company's own farms grow European varieties such as Syrah, Merlot, and Pinot Noir for red wine, while contract farmers grow Chardonnay for white wine and the Japanese shokoshi.
Thanks to the fog, Miyoshi is one of the few places in Japan where noble rot grapes can be harvested. TOMOÉ is a top quality white wine made from noble rot Pinot Noir, which is rare in the world.
The Chardonnay New Moon was created when the grapes were harvested and vinified on a new moonless night. The finest Chardonnay grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected for this prized brew.
In the basement of the facility, there is a wine storage room lined with wooden barrels. The cellar is dimly lit and the temperature is set at about 14 degrees Celsius, which is optimal for wine aging.
Aging in wooden barrels extracts the flavors derived from the barrels, giving the wine a more profound aroma and taste.
TOMOÉ brand is a wine of the highest quality that has won awards at various national and international wine competitions.
Miyoshi Wine can be enjoyed at the tasting space and the barbecue restaurant inside the winery.
TOMOÉ Chardonnay New Moon, continue to win awards every year at prestigious competitions in Japan and abroad.
