Domaine Oyamada
PHILOSOPHY
“Winemaking is artistic expression through agriculture.” Inspired by Kenji Miyazawa’s “Introduction to Peasant Art,” he came to believe that “agriculture can express art—and for me, that means grape growing and winemaking.” Guided by a deep conviction that “only I can grow the grapes I envision,” he continues to stand in his own fields.
「ワイン造りは農業としての芸術表現だ」。宮沢賢治の『農民芸術概論綱要』に影響を受け、「農業は芸術を表現しうるもの。自分の場合はぶどう栽培とワイン造りだと思えた」と語る。「自分の望むぶどうは自分にしか栽培できない」という強い信念のもと、自ら畑に立ち続ける。
VITICULTURE
Farming
Natural farming inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka's 'The One-Straw Revolution.' The soil is left untilled, with undergrowth allowed to grow from spring through summer; from summer into autumn, just before the grapes ripen, the cover is mown two to four times as needed. After practicing biodynamics, he concluded it did not suit Japanese agriculture and shifted away from it.

Philosophy
Wild yeast only. Neither temperature nor time is controlled — everything is entrusted to the dialogue between grapes and yeast. Unfined, unfiltered. Sulfur kept to a minimum or none at all.
