Edenvale: a wonderful range of non-alcoholic products

A leading producer of non-alcoholic wines showcases the best it has to offer at our annual autumn tasting, illustrating the delicious range of bottles available. 

Edenvale is Australia’s leading alcohol-removed wine brand, offering consumers an extensive range of premium non-alcoholic white, red and sparkling wines with no compromise on taste, aroma or complexity – perfect for everyone and every occasion.

Edenvale was established in Australia in 2006, when the company saw an opportunity for a sophisticated lifestyle beverage for those who choose not to consume alcohol, and has been paving the way in the alcohol-removed wine space ever since.

The company was founded on the belief that people across Australia, and globally, should have access to premium alcohol-removed wines that offer the same taste, aroma, complexity, and variety of traditional wines, without the intoxication.

With less than 0.5% alcohol by volume, a level similar to that found in fresh fruit juices, Edenvale wines are non-intoxicating, contain less than half the calories of normal wine, are rich in antioxidants and taste great.

Using grapes grown in Australia’s finest wine regions, Edenvale wines are made using traditional winemaking techniques, resulting in a classic, fully fermented wine. After the wine is produced in its traditional form, Edenvale uses spinning cone technology to remove the alcohol.

The spinning cone column, which has been custom modified for Edenvale’s specific requirements, gently removes the alcohol from the base wine through a process of evaporation, carefully protecting the delicate aromas and flavours. No chemicals are added to the wine. The alcohol is removed at a relatively low temperature, similar to natural fermentation, ensuring that the integrity and flavour profile of each alcohol-removed wine varietal is not compromised.

Edenvale proudly adheres to all the Australian wine standards throughout the wine-making process to ensure a quality product and a real wine experience.
