Coco Farm × 10R "Coco-to-Aru" (こことある) collaboration: Coco Farm — based 700 km south in Ashikaga, Tochigi — sources Hokkaido fruit (Pinot Noir, Pinot Rosé, Zweigelt) from contracted growers in Yoichi, Iwamizawa and surrounding districts. Bruce vinifies the wines at 10R in Iwamizawa, then they ship to Ashikaga only to be bottled and released under the Coco Farm label as the Coco-to-Aru series. The name puns on とある (toaru / "a certain place") and reads as "Coco and 10R." Note: Coco Farm's "Kita Novo" sparkling line uses Hokkaido fruit Bruce helped develop, but the traditional-method tirage happens at Ashikaga rather than at 10R — those are a different (and looser) form of collaboration.
