About Grit and Grace
Grit & Grace is a sparkling rosé created by Le Mat, a brand founded by George Nistor and Marius Băldean in Romania. With backgrounds in culinary arts and hospitality, the founders aimed to provide a genuinely appealing non-alcoholic alternative to traditional wines after both reduced alcohol for health reasons. Their mission is to ‘recompose’ the wine experience using natural ingredients, avoiding the off-tastes often associated with dealcoholized wines.
The production of Grit & Grace involves a unique method where grape juice is blended with various fruit concentrates, infusions, and extracts to replicate the wine profile. This approach is rooted in an 18-month R&D process that included sourcing ingredients from international suppliers and collaboration with a UK research institute. The drink is made with a base of grape juice, complemented by cranberry, sour cherry, and other fruit concentrates, resulting in a refreshing non-alcoholic option.
Grit & Grace is part of a small range of non-alcoholic alternatives offered by Le Mat, which includes other varieties such as Garden of Delight (sparkling white) and Muse (still red). The brand emphasizes that Grit & Grace is particularly suited for celebratory occasions, with its vibrant pink hue and fruit-forward character. Available in a 750 ml bottle, it is marketed as a sparkling rosé that embodies femininity and an unapologetic spirit.
Currently, Grit & Grace can be purchased directly from Le Mat’s webshop and select retailers, including Romanian Drinks in the UK. While the product is gaining attention in the Romanian market, the founders have indicated plans for broader distribution, aiming to enter more retail spaces and the HoReCa sector. As of now, the drink is priced at 44.99 RON in Romania and £11.49 in the UK.
Le Mat promotes Grit & Grace with various mocktail recipes, encouraging creative serves that enhance its appeal. The drink is suggested to be served chilled, ideally between 6-8°C, and pairs well with sweet treats, making it a versatile choice for many social settings.
