Grape Republic Nanyo Cider, Yamagata Japan

Nanyo Cider by Grape Republic is a naturally styled, slightly sparkling cider from Yamagata, Japan. Crafted from a blend of Fuji apples and La France pears, this cider offers ripe fruit aromas with a hint of funk. On the palate, it presents a crisp and clean profile reminiscent of fresh green apples, balanced by good acidity and a touch of volatile acidity, providing a refreshing and tart quality. The fermentation process involves wild yeast, with no added sulfites, and the cider is neither fined nor filtered. Best enjoyed chilled at 2-4°C, Nanyo Cider pairs well with dishes like takoyaki or can be savored on its own as a delightful expression of skilled and creative cider-making.
