Heavensake, created by acclaimed French cellar master, Régis Camus, in collaboration with Japan’s most respected sake breweries, announces a new distribution relationship with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits of California.
Heavensake Junmai Daiginjo, Junmai Ginjo, and Junmai 12 will be exclusively distributed by Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits in California beginning in January.
Heavensake is the first Franco-Japanese sake made by a chef de caves from the Champagne region. Designed for the western palate and cuisine, Heavensake’s unique blends are created with no distilled alcohol, sulfite-free, gluten-free, additive-free, and all-natural with no added sugar and three times less acidity than wine.
Heavensake Junmai Daiginjo (16% ABV; $95 SRP) is produced in collaboration with Dassai brewery and was recently named “Best Sake” while winning a Double Gold and earning 96 points at the 2019 San Francisco International Wine Competition (SFIWC). Heavensake Junmai Ginjo (15% ABV; $45 SRP) is produced in collaboration with Urakasumi brewery, and earned a Gold at SFIWC; Heavensake Junmai 12 (12% ABV; $27.99 SRP) is produced in collaboration with Konishi Brewery and also earned a Gold.
“Introduced in New York in 2017 the brand has successfully completed its proof of concept and is now ready to accelerate commercially,” says Laurent Cutier, CEO, Heavensake. “Our ambition is to expand beyond Asian Fusion and Japanese accounts to hotel bars and lounges, ultimately transcending the sake category. Aligning with world-class distributors such as Southern Glazer’s in California will be pivotal in the growth of Heavensake.”
