Ojisan Blanc 2022

The outcome of a collaboration between two winemaking mates, this is also a happy collaboration of varieties - Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer. Made with a whisper of skin contact, it’s crisp, bright and fresh, with a quiet herbal complexity.

Ojisan Wines is a collaboration between Alex Craighead of New Zealand’s Kindeli and Kazuomi Fujimaki of Japan’s Grape Republic — two "uncles” (the meaning of Ojisan) who met through winemaking and decided to make something together. The wines are crafted from organic New Zealand fruit and while feel playful and unpretentious, the show poise and balance that reflects the talent of these 2 winemakers.
