In Kazuno, Akita's shortest-daylight town, Winery Konohana turns wild-grape hybrids like Shokoshi into small-batch wines with a gentle, firm character.
Winery Konohana makes wine from Yamabudou (wild grape) hybrid varieties in Kazuno, Akita, producing roughly 10,000 bottles a year in an almost entirely handmade operation. Akita has the shortest sunshine hours of any prefecture in Japan, and the winery describes its wines as carrying a gentle character with a firm core that comes from that climate. Grapes include Shokoshi, Wine Grand and Yama Sauvignon, fermented in stainless steel tanks.
