Inspired by the sangrias of Spain, Altina has developed Sansgria, a sparkling ruby red wine that is naturally alcohol free.
Altina co-founder Dr Christina DeLay said they developed the non-alcoholic wine in response to changing drinking habits.
“Consumers are seeking ‘better for you’ non-alcoholic alternatives without the sugary fizz of kids’ soft drinks.
“Launching a red was a natural extension to our existing white and rose variants,” DeLay said.
The Sansgria is made from botanicals and features native Australian riberry, sweet orange, cayenne pepper and green apple.
“The taste profile is complex and refreshing, with a hint of spice and vanilla. As with the rest of our range, Sansgria is formulated without the need to add any sugar,” DeLay said.
DeLay said the difference between Sansgria and other non-alcoholic wins is Altina’s method of flavour extraction.
“Our carefully selected botanicals are cold-steeped for a minimum of 36 hours to capture all the wonderful smells and flavours. We then triple-filter out any impurities to maximise taste and visual clarity. This gives us a broader palate of ingredients to blend with,” she said.
Sansgria is available through the Altina website and selected bottle shops.
