Yamanashi Prefecture's Nirasaki City, Hosaka District, located at the foot of the vast Chigayama Mountain, rising from the northwest corner of the triangular Kofu Basin, is a leading wine grape producing region in the prefecture.
The southwest slopes of the mountain foothills at elevations of 400 to 700 meters belong to the sunny, low rainfall, cool climate zone, and grapes nurtured by the natural environment brought by the winds running through the foothills and slightly viscous soil have a "high concentration" and "strong backbone" flavor.
By harmonizing the two characteristics of Hosaka-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Muscat Bailey A grapes, "strength" and "softness," through aging in French oak barrels, a red wine with a "subtle oak aroma" and "well-balanced" flavor was produced.
"Chateau Mars Cabernet Bailey A Hosaka Shukaku" is a masterpiece that serves as the "foundation" of Mars' red wine making.
