Hailing from the sprawling hills of Nanyo City in the Yamagata Prefecture, Grape Republic enjoys a slightly drier microclimate than their neighbors and a soil composition of mostly granite and schist, resulting in a terroir that’s perfectly suited to an array of unique varietals. This cool, slightly funky rosé PetNat is made with three hybrid grapes: Steuben, Delaware, and Niagara which are all hearty, frost-and-pest-resistant and therefore much more sustainable and environmentally friendly. After pressing, the wines begin fermentation separately in stainless steel vats with native yeast, then they’re blended and complete fermentation in the bottle, trapping those precious bubbles. Notes of violet, blackberry, and plum give way to a balance of beautifully crisp acidity and a light touch of tannins. Pair this complex sparkling rosé with Gado-Gado or clams with parsley and onion salsa.
