Concept

Straightforward Japanese wine from the land of Nara.

Kitani Winery is a winery that works in harmony with the climate of Nara. We produce wines that reflect the unique character of the land and its people, using organically grown grapes from our own vineyards and grapes delivered from trusted contract farmers. From these "traceable grapes" comes a gentle, complex flavor. It is the crystallization of a straightforward passion that believes in the power of nature and people.

Winemaking, starting with grapes.

The quality of wine is determined by the quality of the grapes. At our own vineyards, we practice organic farming without chemical pesticides or fertilizers, valuing agriculture that works in harmony with nature. We only use grapes carefully grown by contract farmers who share the same philosophy.

It is brought forth by the power of nature and the hands of man.

Each harvested grape cluster is carefully sorted, one by one. By slowly fermenting with natural yeast, we bring out a complex flavor that expresses the unique character of the land. We minimize human intervention and use only the essential additives. The result is a natural wine that is gentle on the body of the drinker.

The land and people's aspirations, in a single glass.

We do not mass-produce, but carefully prepare small lots. Each wine encapsulates the essence of its vineyard, the passion of the farmers, and the history of Nara. When you tilt your glass, we hope to offer a memorable bottle that allows you to feel that background.

Nara-born wine, living with nature.

Walking hand-in-hand with Nara's local character, we explore new charms of wine. A bottle that will make your mind and body feel light after drinking—that's what we offer you.
