Type: Light Red Wine (Natural / Minimal Intervention)
Region: Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan
Grapes: 100% Muscat Bailey A
Alcohol ABV: Approximately 10–11%
Aroma:
Bright and expressive aromas of fresh strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, and wild berries, with the distinctive candied fruit character typical of Muscat Bailey A. Delicate floral notes, violet, red grape skin, and subtle herbal nuances add complexity, creating an aromatic profile that is both playful and elegant.
Palate:
Light-bodied, juicy, and vibrant with refreshing acidity and soft tannins. The palate shows flavours of red berries, cherry, and fresh grapes, supported by a gentle phenolic grip from skin contact. The finish is clean and lively, with a subtle savoury and tea-like character that makes it extremely food-friendly and approachable. Muscat Bailey A is a Japanese-developed grape variety known for producing fragrant, lighter-bodied red wines with bright fruit expression.
The grapes are carefully hand-harvested and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts using a low-intervention approach. The fruit undergoes gentle skin maceration to extract colour, aroma, and structure before ageing in neutral vessels to preserve freshness and purity. Bottled with minimal intervention, the wine reflects Grape Republic’s philosophy of showcasing Japanese grape varieties through natural winemaking.
The Muscat Bailey A grapes are sourced from vineyards in Yamanashi Prefecture, one of Japan’s most important wine regions, where warm days, cool nights, and careful vineyard management help maintain aromatic intensity and freshness. Grape Republic works with local growers who focus on sustainable, low-intervention farming practices, allowing this uniquely Japanese grape variety to express its natural fruit character and regional identity.
