Grace Winery (Chuo Budo)

Yamanashi, Japan

About

The Misawa family's estate in Katsunuma, Yamanashi — Japan's Napa Valley — has been making wine since 1923. Ayana Misawa's Koshu wines (from Japan's indigenous white grape) have won international awards and redefined what Japanese wine can be. The Grace Koshu is mineral, precise, and a perfect match for Japanese cuisine. The tasting room in a renovated wooden building is elegant.

Why It's a Hidden Gem

Three generations of a Japanese family proving Koshu is a world-class grape variety, in a wine region most Westerners have never heard of.
