Cave an is a winery established in 2022 by Masako Yasuzo, a female winemaker who was in charge of cultivation and brewing at Marufuji Winery, a long-established winery in Katsunuma, Yamanashi Prefecture.
The winery's own vineyards are located in the mountainous area of Manriki, Yamanashi City, Yamanashi Prefecture, at an altitude of about 400m, and cover six fields (approximately 1ha) where Koshu, Petit Manseng, Albarigne, Tannat, Petit Verdot, and Marselan are cultivated.
In the mountainous area of the Manriki district of Yamanashi City, which Yasuzo describes as ``a landscape reminiscent of the famous vineyards of the Côte d'Or in Burgundy, France,'' we aim to produce well-balanced, soft wines that reflect the terroir and go well with Japanese food.
