Melbourne-based non-alcoholic wine brand Non has released NON8, featuring notes of torched apple and oolong, described as equal parts zingy, fresh, rich, and moreish.

NON8 is the eighth launch in the brands range and is an apple-based beverage employing winery techniques involving apple skin contact.

The Non team took to cold steeping freeze-dried apple cubes sourced locally from Red Hill orchards in the Mornington Peninsula; a process which removes 85 per cent of the apple’s water content and concentrates the remaining fruit flavour. This forms the body of NON8, before Keemun tea, Oolong tea, cacao nibs, burnt sugar, ginger root, and Murray River salt are added.   

NON8 is best served chilled and is available to purchase for RRP $30.00.
