Yuu
RedZweigelt
A single-variety red from Jiki no Hatake made entirely from Zweigelt, a cool-climate Austrian red variety that has found a natural home in Yoichi. Named 'Yuu' (evening), the wine captures the quiet, atmospheric character of the vineyard at dusk. The 2021 vintage underwent 44 days of maceration — 22 days cold soaking followed by 22 days of fermentation — with selective punch-downs to build structure without harshness. Blood orange aromatics, balanced tannins, and a composed, elegant finish distinguish this wine as a serious expression of cool-climate Hokkaido red.

Kasumi
WhiteGrüner Veltliner
A zero-sulfite, single-variety white from 100% Grüner Veltliner — a milestone wine that required five years of vine maturity before the first bottle was made. Named 'Kasumi' (haze or mist), the name carries dual meaning: the morning mist that blankets the Yoichi vineyard, and the Tsumaguro Aokasumikame, a pest insect that challenges organic viticulture and with which the winemaker has chosen to coexist rather than fight. No sulfur dioxide is added from harvest through bottling. Mineral-driven with bright acidity, green apple, and a signature cool-climate white pepper note. Production is extremely limited — as few as 80 bottles in a single vintage.

Meguru
WhiteChardonnay · Sauvignon Blanc · Pinot Blanc · Grüner Veltliner
A blended white from Jiki no Hatake's certified organic vineyard in Yoichi. Whole-bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeasts in stainless steel, 'Meguru' (to circulate) embodies the farm's circular philosophy — grapes become wine, wine is drunk, and the residue returns to nourish the vines. The blend changes with the vintage as each variety reaches its natural expression. Tropical fruit aromas (pineapple, mango) mingle with citrus (lemon, quince), while the palate shows rounded acidity and vivid fruit intensity with a clean finish.
