Jintaro Yura

Jintaro Yura is an exciting new talent in Alsace, whose wines have a marvellous purity and finesse. After working as a sommelier in his native Japan, Jintaro enrolled in oenology school and gained experience in vineyards across New Zealand and Burgundy before settling with his family in Alsace in 2012. He has worked with some of Alsace's leading vignerons, including Isabelle Meyer, Jean Boxler, and Jean-Paul Zusslin, and produced his first vintage in 2020 with organic fruit sourced from exemplary growers around Gueberschwihr and Rouffach. From the moment Jintaro's inaugural wines landed, the buzz around his project has been growing.
