Folium Vineyard's Winemaking — Two Points of Difference —

■ A Winemaking Philosophy That Deliberately Avoids Typical New Zealand Characteristics
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is typically known for its vivid tropical fruit aromas, bright acidity, and notes of green grass and herbs. These characteristics tend to be more pronounced in wines from older vines and machine-harvested grapes. Mr. Okada, however, deliberately uses younger vines and hand-harvests the grapes, tempering these aromas to achieve a more restrained expression.

■ A Winemaking Approach That Values the Character of Each Vintage
In New Zealand, irrigation is commonly used to ensure stable quality and yield. Mr. Okada, however, chooses not to irrigate, allowing the vines to develop deep root systems on their own. This approach brings out the mineral character of the soil and allows the unique personality of each year's vintage to shine through.

A Look Back at Our Previous Event [ 2025.7.12 ]
At both the standing-style seminar and the dinner, Mr. Okada's clear and thoughtful explanations, delivered in person, filled the venue with a warm, relaxed atmosphere throughout the evening, full of admiring remarks and laughter. We look forward to welcoming you at this year's event.
