Have you been to the Republic where it is divine and pink? Well, join us as we chat with the founder of this land, Jason of the Republic of Pink!
About the Republic for which it stands...
The Republic of Pink was born from a singular dream: to make the best rosé in the world, right here in California. Why you might ask? Because for too long, the French have convinced us that the best rosés come from inside their borders, and like any red-blooded American would we took that as a challenge. So we set out as many a great California company had before us: we made some space in the garage, made even more space on our credit cards, and got started on our quest to remake the future as we saw fit: one world-class bottle of rosé at a time.
About Jason
Jason Martin grew up working at the legendary Toronto bistro Le Select where he was schooled on the art and science of great pink wine. Moving to California in 2012, Jason realized that there was a huge opportunity to take rosé winemaking to a whole new level, so he got started, finally launching the Republic of Pink in 2018 after years of incubation.
The Rosé
Jason wanted a rosé that you could both crush by the pool and pair with great meals, so our mission for this wine was to pack as much flavor and refreshment into one bottle as we possibly could. We start with a classic Provençal blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedré: for those strawberries, melon, bright cherry & ripe pink grapefruit flavors; then we add in a twist of Cabernet Franc for a few savory notes and a slight rounder mouthfeel. The result is a rosé like no other in California: complex and refreshing, fruit-forward and dry. Pair it with a Spotify playlist and a pool toy, break it out for pizza night with the fam, or do whatever you want with it - here in the Republic of Pink, your options are limitless.
