Tasting Notes: This Non-Alcoholic Brut Sparkling is bright and bracing like biting into a green apple on a rooftop with the city humming below. There's lemon zest and fresh air in every sip, with just enough backbone to feel like you're drinking something serious. This is not a replacement, it's wine that just happens to be non-alcoholic. It's expressive and made for everyone at the table, proving that moderation doesn't have to mean missing out.

Fruit Source: The Joie Sans Souci alcohol removed wines come from Domaine La Colombette in Beziers in the Lauguedoc region of France. Domaine La Colombette has been a family estate for 4 generations. All vineyards are certified organic, and the grapes are always harvested at night. They follow taste, tradition, and the patient rhythm of the land.

Winemaking Notes: This winery has been making de-alcoholized wine since 2003. They have experience with the process and have advanced equipment to produce superb non-alcoholic wines. The whole process starts with their estate grapes. Then, they use a combination of reverse osmosis and vacuum distillation to remove the alcohol from the wine. The wine is made sparkling via a light gasification, all carefully controlled for consistency. No additives, no fake sweetness.

Why Souvignier Gris? For one essential reason, disease resistance and the promise of a truly pesticide-free vineyard. Souvignier Gris is a PIWI grape. Short for Pilzwiderstandsfähige Reben, German for ‘fungus-resistant vines,' PIWIs are hybrid grape varieties bred specifically to be resistant to certain fungal grapevine diseases. Further Reading.
