Maruki Winery

The Maruki Winery is the oldest winery in Japan, located in the Yamanashi prefecture. Its 50 acres of vineyards are famous for being the birthplace of Koshu grapes, producing remarkable wines with a combination of flavors, from citrus (particularly Japanese yuzu) to yellow fruit. The Maruki Winery also produces red wines from Muscat Bailey A grapes, resulting in their wonderful aroma, reminiscent of strawberries.
