For the time with quality, ARUGA BRANCA is recommended.

"Koshu grape" is a precious gift from the nature.
We devote our lifetime to the growth of "Koshu grape" tree.
That is our basic posture for viniculture.
We continuously pursuit our vision in that drops of "Koshu grape" with highest potential fills palm of our hands.
We think it is very important to raise the potential of "Koshu grape" not by man-made treatment such as chemical fertilizer but by pouring potential of natural cycle into Koshu grape tree maximally.

We have been steadily and quietly continuing our wine production, and have now expressed the ultimate in flavor in a bottle of ARUGA BRANCA.

aruga branca brilhante

ARUGA BRANCA BRILHANTE
Diamond-like Sparkling White Aruga
(Koshu grape/white/sparkling)

We take a special interest in Japan's own "Koshu grape" which has been grown in the Katsunuma climate for over 1,280-years. Each bottle of this wine has the carbon dioxide produced by the fermentation of grapes into wine sealed inside it.
Please enjoy the mild and refreshing flavor of the Koshu grape.

aruga branca clareza

ARUGA BRANCA CLAREZA
Perfectly Clear Aruga White
(Koshu grape/white/dry.Sur Lie)

We have produced a dry wine suitable for all meals which is made from Japan's own "Koshu grape"and by using the Sur Lie fermentation method where the wine has been allowed to lie on its lees for some time. The special feature of this wine is that it is not only suitable for Western-style food, but also Japanese cooking aswell, where wine has traditionally not been well suited to condiments such as miso, soy sauce, and wasabi.

aruga branca isehara

ARUGA BRANCA ISEHARA
Aruga White From The Isehara Vineyards
(Koshu grape/white/slightly dry)

Staying loyal to the basic idea that "wine making is grape growing", we have been involved in producing wines that reflect the individuality of the local climate. This wine is made using only "Koshu grapes" harvested from single vineyards in Isehara, Japan. In addition to its elegant bouquet, mild acidity and a delicate sweetness are finely balanced producing unique individuality.

aruga branca pipa

ARUGA BRANCA PIPA
Barrel Fermented Aruga White
(Koshu grape/white/dry)

This wine was borne from our dream of making wines from Japan's own "Koshu grapes" that would be recognized the world over. During the fermentation process, sugar and acidity are not added and the grape's own flavor is condensed. It is then fermented and aged for 6 months in French oak casks, and matured for a further two years in bottles. It has a complex but elegant flavor, balancing well the fruity taste with the bouquet of the cask.

aruga branca doce

ARUGA BRANCA DOCE
Sweet Aruga White
(Koshu grape/white/extremely sweet,dessert)

Produced by taking great care in selecting Japan's own "Koshu grapes", then carefully freezing and condensing the grapes' original sweetness and acidity to make a non-chaptalized wine. A honey-like natural sweetness and constant acidity provide a perfectly deep flavor. Please serve well chilled with your dessert.

aruga branca envelhecida

ARUGA BRANCA ENVELHECIDA
Matured Aruga White
(Koshu grape/white/sweet,Madeira)

A well matured and sweet wine made using Japan's own "Koshu" variety of grape and fortified with brandy. The bouquet of dried fruits, dried leaves, earth, and nutmeg provided by the maturation and the elegant sweetness and tartness which come from the fruit are well matched. It is a wine that particularly goes well with an after dinner cigar.

* With RIEDEL Wine Glass no.416/33 (sauvignon blanc / dessert wine) you can enjoy ARUGA BRANCA's delicate structure consisted from rich bouquet and taste deeper.
