Aiming for a wine that provides a glimpse of the place where it is from, we have decided to combine the three second wines "Grace Merlot", "Grace Cabernet Sauvignon" and "Grace Cabernet Franc", whose varieties are listed on the front label, into a single wine from the 2017 vintage.

This new wine is "Akeno", the name reflects our cherishment of its origin. It is a blend of three varieties from a single vineyard, or a "wine with a view" of where it is from. After rigorous selection in the vineyard and the winery, small lots were selected and vinified separately with scrupulous attention to details as well as gentle extraction. Each variety or lot was matured in French oak barrels and bottled without clarification or filtration.

Established in 1923 in Katsunuma, this family-owned winery established by Chotaro Misawa is now run by his fourth-generation successor Shigekazu Misawa, whose daughter Ayana is in charge of winemaking. The main-winery is still in Katsunuma and produces primarily Koshu. Since 1990 the family has been concentrating its efforts on improvements in grape production. The winery’s goal is a wine reflecting a unique combination of soil, sunlight, and altitude. It has been a pioneer in replacing conventional Japanese viniculture with vertical shoot positioning to produce a more richly flavoured grape. The goal is wines that are eco-friendly, with a natural, gallant and quietly elegant taste.
