Domaine Nakajima

Yutaka Nakajima was studying at chef school when he discovered wine. With a love for natural wine and a strong affection for Alsace Yutaka got experience working vineyards in the Loire and Baden (Germany). In 2011 he planted his vineyard in Tomi, Nagano with the winery following in 2014. 

His vineyards are beautifully situated on a south-facing hillside, at altitude. The first plantings were Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. His more recent plantings are Pinot Gris, and has recently attempted to plant some Savagnin, Ploussard and Trousseau on new land that he has acquired.

Winemaking here is natural: there are no sulfites added until bottling when there is a small addition if necessary. The Pet Nat we have on offer is sulphur free.

As with all Japanese wines these wines are extremely limited, allocations are small. We have his Pet Nat on offer for this shipment, with the intension to secure his Chenin and Cabernet Franc in the new year.
