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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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","brand":"Sea Priest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48114332762299,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.buvonswine.com\/products\/chateau-kiri-mba","provider":"Buvons Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
