Type: Sparkling White Wine (Pét-Nat / Natural / Minimal Intervention)
Region: Yamagata Prefecture, Japan
Grapes: 50% Delaware, 25% Niagara, 11% Neo Muscat, 6% Seyval Blanc 9110, 6% Steuben, 2% Rosario Bianco
Alcohol ABV: 10.5%
Aroma:
Highly aromatic and playful, bursting with notes of mango, banana, white peach, lychee, Muscat grape, citrus blossom, and tropical fruits. The signature candy-like fragrance of Delaware grapes is balanced by delicate floral notes and subtle wild yeast complexity, creating an unmistakably vibrant Japanese expression.
Palate:
Light-bodied and lively with gentle natural bubbles and refreshing acidity. Juicy tropical fruits, fresh table grapes, citrus, and white peach are complemented by a soft lees-derived creaminess and delicate umami. The finish is crisp, clean, and effortlessly drinkable, with a subtle cloudy texture that enhances the wine's charm and freshness.
The grapes are hand-harvested from organically managed vineyards and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. Most of the fruit undergoes short skin maceration before fermentation in stainless steel, while a portion of sweet Steuben juice is blended back just before bottling. The wine completes fermentation in bottle using the ancestral (Pét-Nat) method, creating its natural sparkle without fining, filtration, or added sulphur.
The fruit is sourced from vineyards across Yamagata Prefecture, where cool growing conditions and significant day-to-night temperature variation preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. Grape Republic works closely with growers who follow organic and low-intervention farming practices, avoiding synthetic chemicals while encouraging biodiversity and healthy vineyard ecosystems. The result is a vibrant sparkling wine that captures the purity and individuality of Japan's emerging natural wine scene.
