Here in Australia, Autumn is a spectacular season as trees turn all shades of rust and scarlet, and that deep golden-kissed light makes everything look more intense.
What wines have you been enjoying as the temperatures continue to drop? Now is the time of year when many BBQs become indoor dinners, and we turn from predominantly crisp, cool white wine to warming red wines.
We firmly believe there is no right or wrong season to enjoy a particular wine. You should select what’s pleasurable for you at the time and enjoy whatever wine you want. And when it’s Edenvale non-alcoholic wine, you can enjoy it whenever you want, too!
So, what are this year’s top picks for Autumn? Based on your orders, an eclectic mix of four stand-out varietals form this season’s favourite tipples. You won't go wrong with any of these if you’re looking for non-alcoholic wine inspiration as the Mercury levels drop.
Edenvale’s Best Wine for Autumn
Edenvale Non-Alcoholic Premium Reserve Blanc de Blanc
Just because it’s cooler outside doesn’t stop us celebrating good times. Whether you have a special occasion or you simply like to pop some fizz because it’s Saturday evening, Edenvale Blanc de Blanc gets the good times started. Clean, fresh and superbly balanced, this non-alcoholic sparkling wine is a flavoursome melange of fruit, including white peach, citrus, and apple. Oak undertones add a level of complexity that makes this wine a real joy.
Pair with butternut squash risotto
Edenvale Non-Alcoholic Pinot Gris
Unlike many other white wines, Pinot Gris has a fuller, richer texture, making it ideal for drinking over cooler months. This Edenvale Pinot Gris delivers that hallmark texture and luscious flavours of stone fruit, poached pear, and apricot.
Pair with creamy mushroom pasta or spiced poached pears
Edenvale Non-Alcoholic Pink Moscato
A little bit of blush is just the right shade for shorter Autumn days! Naturally sweet, Edenvale Moscato boasts flavours of rose petal and Turkish delight, which are given a gentle lift thanks to a very delicate fizz.
Pair with sweet classics such as apple strudel or a traditional panna cotta
Edenvale Non-Alcoholic Premium Reserve Pinot Noir
Is this the ultimate Autumn red wine? Indeed, more body and complexity go down very well this time of year, and our elegant, structured Premium Reserve Pinot Noir certainly delivers on that front. Expect ripe red and dark fruit on the nose, classic pinot tannins, sweet cherry and ripe mulberry fruit on the palate and a wonderfully juicy finish. This is Autumnal pinot perfection!
Pair with roasted duck with a cranberry and orange glaze or pumpkin ravioli
Making Alcohol-Removed Wine
As you curl up to the fire with your favourite drop of Edenvale wine, do you ever wonder how wine without alcohol can taste so good?
You might be surprised to hear that we begin the process by making alcoholic wine. That’s right - our winemaking technique follows the same craft and traditions as conventional wine. However, we then take a different path and remove the alcohol…
