Four of the Best Non-Alcoholic Wines

L'Arjolle Équilibre Zéro Blanc

Languedoc, France

Domaine de l’Arjolle is a family winery, situated in Pouzolles, in the south of France. The vineyards are farmed with respect to nature, preserving the local ecosystem.

Arjolle Zéro has been dealcoholized using an environmentally sustainable method that is known for allowing the wine to retain its bright aromas and flavours. Arjolle Zéro Sauvignon Blanc-Viognier has an aromatic nose of exotic white fruits. The palate has vibrant fruit and refreshing finish.

Food Match: The touch of residual sugar and bright fruit flavours would pair beautifully with some hard cheese and crackers.

"Light peach fruits with good refreshing acidity. An attractive aperitif, or to drink with seafood dishes."

L'Arjolle Équilibre Zéro Rosé

Languedoc, France

Rosé is continue to increase in popularity, so we were delighted to introduce the Domaine de l'Arjolle Zéro Rosé. Made from a blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, it offers bright aromas of freshly picked red berries, followed by a refreshing fruity palate. There is just enough sweetness to add a nice palate weight and balance to the refreshing acidity.

Food Match: As with a traditional rosé wine, this non-alcoholic version would be the perfect match for fruity desserts, such as a pear frangipane tart or strawberry cheescake.

Torres Natureo 0.0%

Catalunya, Spain

The family-owned Torres winery have been pioneers in creating non-alcoholic wines, so it unsurprising that their Natureo range are market leaders.

Natureo Red is made from the Grenache and Syrah grapes, and has the ripe red fruit character of those varities. As with the Domaine de l'Arjolle wines above, this is made as a traditional wine and then had the alcohol removed, offering nice structure and lots of bright ripe berry fruit.

Food Match: Enjoy this with a traditional Spanish winter fare, such as chickpea and chorizo stew.

Freixenet Legero Non-Alcoholic Sparkling

Catalunya, Spain

Freixenet is one of the biggest Cava Houses in Spain and they have been perfecting their non-alcoholic sparkling wine for over a decade.

Legero Non-Alcoholic is bright yellow in the glass, with a good bead of large, refreshing bubbles. On the nose there are bright aromas of tropical fruits, balanced by zesty lemon citrus notes. The palate is lively, fruity and refreshing, expresses the good quality of the base wine. There is a sweetness to the palate, which gives a nice full texture, and this is well-balanced by the lively acidity.

Food Match: Freixenet Legero is closer in style to Prosecco than a Cava, so ideal to serve as an aperitif or with salty dishes, such as shellfish or even a cheese board.
