When Takaki bought the vineyard 15 years ago, he turned off the water. People thought he was mad, and 3-4 years followed with very little fruit. But then it started to get interesting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBecause Takaki doesn’t use irrigation, the vines’ roots must reach down deep into the soil for water and nutrients. It also means there’s less canopy and fruit on the vines, but they put all their energy into growing and ripening the grapes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYou land up with riper flavours and beautiful balance in the fruit, and the result is clear to see in this wine. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis is a textured, structured Chardonnay, with yellow fruit, citrus, spice and even a touch of saltiness.
