But the Osaka native’s most lasting legacy won’t be what he saw or captured, but what he built: the Angkor Hospital for Children in Siem Reap.

Quail Ridge is a winery in the classic Chateau tradition. The cellar is located in the Hedgeside Caves, handhewn in 1885. The use of Burgundian barrel fermentation techniques creates and develops fine wines of subtle elegance. All our wines are fermented and aged in French Oak barrels, a task that demands critical attention and handcrafting.
The Quail Ridge style is distinctive, generous and vibrant yet refined and graceful.
