Noughty Blanc

Noughty Blanc Non-Alcoholic White Wine has been expertly dealcoholized to retain the rich flavor of this beautifully crafted varietal consisting of 55% Chenin Blanc / 45% Chardonnay.

The grapes are harvested from dry-land farmed vineyards in the Western Cape region, where the vines are not trellised and are planted as bush vines. The vineyards are strategically planted on south-west facing slopes to capture cool breezes from the Atlantic Ocean and cold Benguela current. Deep soils from decomposed granite, clay rich, with good drainage.

With 14 days fermentation at 14-15°C, the grapes and juice are handled reductively to prevent oxidation and lock in fruitiness. The wine is left on lees for two months to add complexity. The wine is then dealcoholized by way of a gently spun cone technology. This is done under vacuum and at low temperature to ensure that the wine retains its distinctive body, color and flavor.

TASTING NOTES

Notes of yellow apple, lime, melon and chamomile are predominant on the nose, with aromas of honeysuckle, citrus fruit and jasmine on the palate. Good balance of acidity and fruitiness.

PAIRING

A refreshing white wine that will pair well with light fish dishes, soft and creamy cheeses as well as spicy food such as Indian and Thai plates.

The bottle contains less than 150mg per litre of sulfites and is gluten free.
