2023 Ojisan Rouge

The Ojisan Rouge 2023 is a vibrant and unique collaboration between New Zealand's natural wine pioneer, Alex Craighead (Kindeli), and Japan's Kazuomi Fujimaki (Grape Republic). A blend of classic red varietals grown in certified organic vineyards in New Zealand, this wine perfectly captures their shared philosophy of crafting uncompromising, expressive wines with a playful spirit. It's a testament to minimal intervention winemaking, designed to be bright, light, and utterly delicious.

Aroma & Palate | Expect a bright and juicy profile with a mix of red and black berries. The palate offers soft, silky tannins and a lively acidity that brings a refreshing juiciness. It's an interesting, easy-drinking red that's packed with pure fruit flavour, with some reviewers noting hints of citrus, cherry, cassis, and even a touch of barnyard yeast for added complexity.
