Winemaker Taiki Hirose trained at Chateau Sakaori and abroad before opening this hilltop winery in 2018, crafting Koshu and Italian varieties without added sugar or acid.
Cantina Hiro is a small hilltop winery whose wines, in its own words, 'conceal timeless treasures.' Winemaker Taiki Hirose trained at Chateau Sakaori before honing his craft in New Zealand and Australia for about three years, opening the winery in 2018. He took over a grape farm with more than 70 years of history and specializes in Italian varieties alongside Koshu, adding no sugar or acid so as to capture the grapes' natural potential, with an emphasis on fruit character and aroma. The wines are used at Raffles Hotel Singapore, made entirely from estate-grown fruit.
