Plus & Minus Zero Alcohol Shiraz 2023 (Australia)

Description

• Subtle oak
• Dark berries
• Chocolate
• Light-bodied

This lighter bodied shows real restraint yet is flavoursome and offers a full wine experience. Nicely rounded with soft tannins and persistent intensity make this a genuine crowd pleaser.

Fruit sourced from vineyards in South Australia.

The winter and spring prior to the 2023 vintage was generally a little wetter and cooler than what is usual, delaying the start of vintage and meaning some extra care was rewuired through the growing period. Whilst the vintage was indeed later than usual, there were some really beautiful parcels of fruit that benefited from being grown in sites where the slower ripening simply enabled flavour ripeness to be achieved with character and balanced.

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. Food Pairing: It's smooth and delicious and pairs well with most lightly barbecued dishes or a group favourite pumpkin gnocchi.

Food Pairing: Pair it with a cheese platter, or your favourite light pasta dishes.
