Moderato Merlot-Tannat Cuvée Révolutionnaire 0.5%, France

Drawing on Gascony’s rich winemaking heritage, this alcohol-free red is crafted with a blend of Merlot and Tannat grapes sourced from the vineyards of South West France. Combining tradition and modern innovation, it’s created at Le Chai Sobre, the first French centre dedicated to alcohol-free wine production, in partnership with the Gascony-based Vivadour cooperative. Using a gentle low-temperature distillation process, the wine’s structure and aromas are expertly preserved, resulting in expressive black-fruit and spice notes, complemented by a touch of vanilla. Awarded a silver medal at the Concours International de Lyon 2023, it’s medium-bodied with velvety tannins and a smooth finish, making it a versatile choice for pairing with dishes like beef, vegetable lasagna or shepherd’s pie. Serve at 18°C or slightly chilled to enjoy its vibrant character.
