Select a wine varietal you already enjoy
Do you enjoy traditional wines? If so, apply your knowledge and interest to this new world of non-alcoholic wine.
If you like Rosé wines, you’ll very likely enjoy non-alcoholic Rosé. However, if you’re not a fan of Shiraz, we don’t recommend beginning your no-alcohol wine journey with Shiraz. Removing alcohol changes the finished product, but it does not radically reinvent it.
Know where your alcohol-free wine gets its grapes
There are grapes, and then there are grapes!
Make no mistake - quality wine is reliant on quality fruit. A talented winemaker will simply work to enhance that fruit, not override it. It is therefore essential to select non-alcoholic wines that source their grapes from reputable regions.
Edenvale selects our fruit from the best wine-growing regions in Australia, including Barossa Valley, the Murray Darling, Riverland, Currency Creek, Langhorne Creek, the Fleurieu Peninsula, and the Frankland River. Our Expedition Series sources from La Mancha, one of the most respected wine regions in Spain.
Enquire about the alcohol-removal technique and winemaking process

However, some quick tips here include:- Let the wine breathe - just like traditional wines, you need to give Edenvale beverages time to open up.
- Be aware of the bottle temperature, which can influence the wine’s flavour profile. You should usually serve white wines cold and red wines at room temperature. However, in Spain and Portugal, it is common to serve red wines slightly chilled, especially over the summer.
