Grapes are gently pressed and left to ferment naturally; a portion is frozen and concentrated first to add richness before blending. The wine finishes its fermentation in bottle, giving it its gentle sparkle, and is bottled without added sulphites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003eNestled in the picturesque mountains of Tomi, Nagano, Domaine Nakajima stands out as a winery that is a testament to the beauty of simplicity, craftsmanship, and local traditions, producing wines that reflect both the land and the artisan behind them. Yutaka Nakajima embodies the essence of a dedicated Japanese winemaker—humble, intelligent, and deeply connected to his craft. His winemaking philosophy emphasizes hands-on techniques, utilizing self-made wooden tools to create hard-to-reach wines. Nakajima’s commitment to nurturing his vineyards means working with nature rather than forcing it, resulting in wines that are true reflections of their environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince his move to Tomi in 2009, Nakajima has cultivated a small slope at an altitude of 850 meters, growing primarily French grape varieties like Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Merlot amid the region’s native flora. Inspired by the cooler climate reminiscent of European vineyards, he further expanded in 2019 by introducing Jura-inspired varietals, including Savagnin and Pinot Noir. Each year, Domaine Nakajima produces only a few thousand bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis bottle is allocated and therefore stock is limited.
