Our story |
Shige started to go to wine appreciation courses when he worked for a top
hotel in Tokyo. He was quickly absorbed by wines and became a qualified
sommelier. A trip to France to see some vineyards and wineries inspired
his winemaking venture to train as a winemaker in New Zealand. He decided
to move to New Zealand to strudy winemaking in 2004. Shige finally fulfilled
his dream of making his own wine in 2009.
