Grape Republic

Grape Republic was founded by restaurateur and sommelier Kazuomi Fujimaki in 2015. The goal was to make live and clear Japanese wines in free style using the grapes grown in Yamagata's orchards throughout the 20th century

Description

Delaware (50%), Niagara (37%), and Neo Muscat (13%) were primarily crushed and left on skins for twelve hours before being pressed off into stainless steel.

Ancestral Method

Also known as Petillant Naturel, it's the oldest version of sparkling wine making, and involves bottling the wine before fermentation has finished. A single fermentation is applied, trapping carbon dioxide to create natural carbonation.
This results in a little less control, and wines can sometimes come across a less refined compare to the traditional champagne method, and sometimes tends to have a slightly more beer-ish or cider-ish taste
