Lautus De-Alcoholised Wines, Rosé NV
Reg Holder started his career with vintages in France, Australia and the USA before returning to South Africa. He then spent 11 years as the winemaker at both Neil Ellis and Delheim. In 2015, while his wife was pregnant with their first child, he started experimenting with de-alcoholised wine for her. When they were expecting their second, in 2017, Reg decided that he was going to move full time into the Lautus de-alcoholised project.
Reg uses his traditional winemaking expertise to craft this outstanding Rosé, made from Pinotage grapes sourced in Voor Paardeberg, South Africa.
He then uses a state of the art piece of machinery that combines centrifugal force and a vacuum in order to extract the alcohol while leaving the wines’ volatile flavour and aromatic essence intact.
This delightful non-alcoholic wine boasts a burst of summer berries – think strawberries and a medley of red fruits.
Unquestionably the best range de-alcoholised wine we have tried!

ALCOHOL REMOVAL: The alcohol is removed via spinning cone technology at low temperature under vacuum. The initial phase is to first remove the flavour, and set aside. The alcohol is then removed and once completed the flavour is added back to the de-alcoholised wine. Because there is significant volume loss during this process, a portion of the alcohol water is then again put through the process to extract the water, and added back. This helps to fill out the palate and balance acidity. Normal winemaking practices are followed from here in preparation for bottling.
