Grace Winery (Chuo Budoshu) was founded in 1923 by Chotaro Misawa in Katsunuma, Yamanashi Prefecture, the birthplace of Japan's wine industry. The winery has a history of innovation, being one of the first to introduce modern techniques like Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) in 1990 to enhance grape quality. Today, the winery is run by the Misawa family, with the current winemaker being Chotaro's great-great-granddaughter, Ayana Misawa. The winery is committed to the philosophy that great wine comes from high-quality grapes grown in exceptional vineyards. They focus on traditional Japanese craftsmanship while also implementing progressive, modern techniques to enhance quality and reflect the unique terroir of the Katsunuma region. Grace Winery is considered a benchmark for quality in the Japanese winemaking community.
Inspired by the potential of Pinot Gris when visiting Alsace, our 4th generation owner started making the first vintage of this wine in 1999. The name 'Gris de' is derived from 'Gris', which stands for the colour of the Koshu's skins, and 'de' which means "of". We started making the wine with an eye on the future, that one day Japanese wines will be part of our dining culture, and our wines will accompany not just dining tables at home, but also in restaurants throughout the country, as a wine that is best in bringing out the characteristics of Koshu. Gris de Koshu was also the label served at the celebration party to commemorate the Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine, Yoshinori Osumi, Professor Emeritus of Tokyo Institute of Technology.
