Tasting Notes

Summary: Plus & Minus is a contemporary range of wines developed to be richer in antioxidants, minus the alcohol. These zero alcohol wines have been hand-made without the use of any artificial sweeteners but do see the addition of grape skin extract (GSE) during the winemaking process. This GSE is rich in naturally occurring antioxidants delivering more of those benefits that can already be found in red wine but without the alcohol. The Plus & Minus range of wines have been uniquely hand-crafted using only high-quality grapes from premium, dry-grown South Australian vineyards. This ensures the resultant wines remain vibrant and full-flavoured once the process of removing the alcohol has been completed. On the nose it’s varietal and has aromas of pear, apple and citrus with a slight hint of floral characters. The palate is a burst of citrus underpinned by balanced sweetness and acidity. Try it chilled with a variety of seafood.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Plus & Minus is a zero-alcohol range crafted by winemaker Corey Ryan from premium, dry-grown South Australian fruit. This Pinot Grigio is drawn from South Australian vineyards, with the range's fruit associated with dry-grown sites; the label lists it as multi-regional, so it is blended across seasons and districts to a consistent house style rather than a single vintage. Dry-grown, low-yielding fruit is chosen so the base wine carries enough flavour and aromatic intensity to survive alcohol removal. The focus is on ripe pear, apple and citrus character with a floral edge, the varietal freshness of grigio being well suited to a crisp, lower-calorie, alcohol-free white.

Vinification

The wine is vinified first as a conventional dry Pinot Grigio — cool-fermented in stainless steel to protect its delicate pear, apple and citrus aromatics — before the alcohol is removed to a zero-alcohol level. It is hand-made without artificial sweeteners, with grape seed extract added during processing to raise the naturally occurring antioxidant content. Residual sweetness and acidity are balanced after de-alcoholisation to keep the palate lively rather than hollow, giving a burst of citrus underpinned by gentle sweetness. It is designed to be served well chilled, and finishes clean and dry.

About this Non-Alcoholic

South Australia

If you like Australian wine, then you probably like South Australia wine. The rich reds produced there put Australia on the wine-making map of the world. With over 40% of the countries vineyards, South Australia can rightfully call itself the wine state.

Wines are produced in several regions throughout the state, though many are naturally grouped together, like Barossa and Eden Valleys, only 15 minutes apart. They include such regions as Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, The Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to name but a few!

Barossa Valley boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia dating back to 1843 and produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, whilst the 'terra rossa' soils of Coonawarra is most suited to producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons. If you're a fan of Riesling, Clare Valley is a great place to explore and for a Maritime climate not dissimilar to parts of the Italian coastline, seek out the wines from McLaren Vale.
