Grape Republic - Anfora Bianco Yamagata 2023

$50.00

Importer’s notes: Kazuomi Fujimaki and Takayuki Taira ‘Newcomer winery founded in 2017’. Our Natural wine products are made of 100% Grape which were ripened in Nanyo City, Yamagata Prefecture climate. The Terroir (total growth environment in French), not only the climate, terrain or soil but also including people who live there and their cultures of each land. This Terroir is a principal concept to produce natural wine in GRAPE REPUBLIC.

The farmland and brewery facilities are set up in Nanyo City, Yamagata Prefecture where the hills are at the north and the fertile ground spread to the south.

A land suitable for making grapes, where it has a climate with an intense temperature gap, low humidity throughout the day and a smooth drain geology, but cultivation abandoned areas are noticeable here and there now.

By producing a high quality grape and natural wine from here, we would like to gather new farmers or new wineries and revitalize the increasing abandoned farmland. Eventually, collaborations with famous products of Nanyo City or agribuserism will also be developed, and form a big winemaking area like “Grape Republic” throughout the city. That is our concept.

One of the phrases that expresses natural wine of GRAPE REPUBLIC is “Made of 100% Grapes”, we use only the grapes from Nanyo City climate and add nothing else. Progress of grape cultivation is the same, we do not use any pesticides such as herbicides or insecticides,

This a unique skin-contact wine from this region in Japan crafted with native and hybrid grapes.

The nose shows off with intense floral (some jasmin) and stone fruit notes. The palate surprises with delicate texture and soft notes of peach, mandarin, quince, orange peel and with a touch of spicy finish.

Pair it with scallops, fish, goat cheese, fresh shrimp salad.

Region: Yamagata Prefecture, Japan

Grape: Delaware, Niagara, Steuben, and Seibel
