Since then, 1920 Wines have released a non-alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc and more recently, a non-alcoholic rosé. Given the success of their non-alcoholic Pinot Grigio, I wasn’t surprised the new 1920 Wines are also considered to be among the best non-alcoholic wines at Sans Drinks.
This exclusive guide has the inside scoop on 1920 Wines and their range of non-alcoholic wine which I hope will help you get the most out of every drop.
Introducing 1920 Wines
1920 Wines is a boutique non-alcoholic wine brand made at a traditional winery located in the iconic South Australian wine region. With years of viticulture experience under their belts, the winemakers at 1920 Wines experimented with traditional winemaking techniques and the latest de-alcoholisation technology until they perfected their methods.
While 1920 Wines are secretive about the exact process, I can tell you they have adopted a variation of the spinning cone technique, which allows them to remove the alcohol from traditionally made wine without damaging its delicate flavours and aromas.
And if you’re wondering why they named the brand 1920 Wines — it was inspired by the year that prohibition was introduced. I imagine the temperance movement would have been a lot more popular if high-quality non-alcoholic wine was available back then!
Grape to glass
With both warm, sunny days and a cool ocean breeze, South Australia has a global reputation for producing premium wine. Within South Australia, there are a number of microclimates, and from the valleys to the hills, different vineyards produce different tasting grapes. This means when 1920 Wines set out to find grapes for their non-alcoholic wine, they had a wide selection to choose from.
1920 Wines begins every vintage by sampling grapes from the region and selecting the best grapes available. But it doesn’t end there, they also ensure the grapes are harvested with extra care. The grapes that go into 1920 non-alcoholic wine are hand-picked during the coolest hours of the night. This creates a natural chilling effect that keeps the grapes fresh, preserves their flavour and stabilises sugar levels.
All of the effort that goes into 1920 Wines means it’s unlike any other non-alcoholic wine Australia produces. Let me tell you more about each of the wines.
1920 Wines Non-Alcoholic Pinot Grigio
[product name="1920-wines-non-alcoholic-pinot-grigio"]
The taste
1920 Wines Non-Alcoholic Pinot Grigio features all the hallmarks of a classic Italian Pinot Grigio. With aromas of nashi pear, apple and lemon, this non-alcoholic white wine has a wine-like mouthfeel and crisp, refreshing finish.
Worth noting
This non-alcoholic Pinot Grigio is low in calories (18 calories per 100ml) and contains just 2.7g of sugar per 100ml. It’s also a vegan-friendly wine.
Try this
I recommend enjoying 1920 Wines Non-Alcoholic Pinot Grigio alongside a summer vegetable risotto. The well-balanced fruit flavours in the non-alcoholic Pinot Grigio will bring out the earthy flavours in the vegetables. You can also add more depth of flavour to the dish by adding a splash of wine to the risotto as it cooks.
1920 Wines Non-Alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc
[product name="1920-wines-sauvignon-blanc-non-alcoholic"]
The taste
1920 Wines Non-Alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc features tropical fruit salad aromas along with an elegant palate of mango and passionfruit. It has a dry flavour profile with well-balanced acidity and a light, wine-like mouthfeel.
Worth noting
The 1920 Wines Non-Alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc doesn't quite fall into the low-calorie wine category (wines under 19 calories per 100ml), but at 20 calories per 100ml, it is significantly lower in calories than a traditional alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc. It contains 2.7g of sugar per 100ml and it’s also vegan-friendly.
Try this
This is a great non-alcoholic wine to pair with cheese. A goat cheese such as Crottin de Chavignol works really well, but any type of cheese with a little tang or bite will balance out the citrus in the non-alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc.
1920 Wines Non-Alcoholic Rosé
[product name="1920-wines-non-alcoholic-rose"]
The taste
The 1920 Wines Non-Alcoholic Rosé is crisp and elegant with aromas of freshly picked strawberries, blossom and rose petals along with some almond notes. It is well-balanced, with a full, alcohol-like mouthfeel and a dry finish.
Worth noting
This non-alcoholic rosé is low in calories (18 calories per 100ml) making it one of the best non-alcoholic wines to choose if you are calorie conscious. It also contains 2.7g of sugar per 100ml and it’s vegan-friendly.
Try this
Rosé is one of the best non-alcoholic wines to serve on a summer's day, so I recommend pairing 1920 Wines Non-Alcoholic Rosé with a light dish such as a grilled vegetable salad. The grilled notes that linger on your palate will be balanced out with the dry and fruity notes of the non-alcoholic rosé.
