See where Kimura-san is now!
Introducing ultra-rare new vintages at special prices

Long-awaited new arrivals have landed from "Kimura Cellars," run by the husband-and-wife team of Shigehisa and Mieko Kimura, who continue to make their mark in Marlborough, New Zealand’s largest wine region!

Arriving this time are the "NICO Series Sauvignon Blanc 2026" and the "Marlborough Pinot Noir 2025."

Actually, due to various circumstances, production for this vintage is significantly lower than usual years. It was an extremely small harvest, with NICO seeing a 70% decrease and Pinot Noir a 60% decrease compared to last year.

However, the quality remains as high as ever. While firmly expressing the fruit-forward character typical of Marlborough, both wines possess a profound depth that pairs gently with the Japanese dining table. They are finished so wonderfully that you can’t help but exclaim, "Yes, this is exactly what I’ve been waiting for!"

Because these two items are destined to sell out, we at Bokumo Wine want to offer them to you at a special price for this new release, limited to just 20 sets.

I visited Kimura-san’s home and estate vineyard in August!

I, Iwasu, visited Kimura-san's home in New Zealand this past August. The dog in the photo with me is "Nico." The "NICO Series" takes its name from her. It embodies Kimura-san’s warm wish for these wines to "bring smiles (nico-nico)," and the labels are designed with Nico’s paw print. She is very friendly and even jumped up on my legs to welcome me when I visited!

Since it was winter, the home block (estate vineyard) adjacent to their house didn't have any grapes, but the cover crops were lush and green, and I could feel firsthand how the organic farming is managed down to the smallest detail. It was clear how much love the Kimuras pour into this vineyard.

Kimura-san is also a top-tier taster, having served as a judge at local wine competitions. Please take this opportunity to enjoy the "uncompromising taste" that Kimura-san brings to us.

Surely, drinking these will show you exactly where Kimura-san is right now!

Set Contents

NICO Series Sauvignon Blanc 2026

Made with grapes from their own BioGro-certified estate vineyard. After pressing, only the clear juice is transferred to older barrels for fermentation and aging. The "softness" unique to barrel fermentation and aging is irresistible.

While it has the lively citrus flavors typical of a Sauvignon Blanc, its signature is a style that avoids being overly sharp. The classic grapefruit aroma is subdued, replaced by scents reminiscent of ripe French pears, with a distinct acidity. It finishes with a refreshing citrus flavor like lime and a pleasant bitterness akin to yuzu peel.

Marlborough Pinot Noir 2025

The true essence of Kimura-san, who has won numerous awards both in Japan and abroad. It uses grapes from the Awatere Valley vineyard and is fermented using only wild yeast. After about one week of cold maceration, it is aged for 11 months in French oak barrels (15% new oak). Notes of ripe black cherry and plum are subtly accompanied by hints of clove and cinnamon spice.

While you can enjoy its powerful fruitiness now, it will likely transform into something quite elegant in 10 years. Because this is such a limited-production year, this is a bottle you absolutely must get your hands on.

About the "Kimura Cellars" Winery

"Kimura Cellars" is a family-run winery owned by Japanese native Shigehisa Kimura.

After studying viticulture and oenology in New Zealand and gaining experience at several local wineries, Kimura-san established "Kimura Cellars" in Marlborough in 2009.

With a concept of "wines where you can see the face of the maker" and being a "producer close to the consumer," they are committed to meticulous, organic winemaking.

In 2018, they began their long-held dream of cultivating grapes in their own vineyard, putting even more effort into organic farming practices.

The Kimura Cellars logo represents the shoot of a "fern (koru)," an iconic NZ plant, depicted as a cherry blossom. The fern is a symbol of New Zealand, representing "new beginnings," "growth," and "harmony."

　

I hear Kimura-san's wines are often used for occasions like wedding anniversaries.

About the Marlborough Region

"Marlborough" is the heart of New Zealand's wine country.

Blessed with abundant sunshine and significant temperature differences between day and night, it offers ideal natural conditions for grape cultivation. Over 80% of New Zealand's wine is produced in Marlborough.

Among them, Sauvignon Blanc, characterized by its sharp acidity and overflowing fruitiness, boasts overwhelming production volume and is widely loved around the world for its unique character. As for red wine, Pinot Noir, with its rich berry fruit flavor, is also very popular.
