Lindauer Goes Free*
For Summer
November 2019
New Zealand's number one sparkling
wine brand has launched the first New
Zealand alcohol-removed sparkling
wine, Lindauer Free*, just in time for
summer festivities!
Fresh and vibrant with a lingering
finish, Lindauer Free* is a great choice
for those that are looking to moderate
their alcohol content this festive season,
but don’t want to sacrifice on flavour or
fun.
Available in Sparkling Brut and
Rosé , this very special Limited Edition
release is made by award-winning
head winemaker Jane De Witt, in the
same way as Lindauer’s traditional
sparkling wine, but with the alcohol
gently removed at the end, leaving only
a trace.
Jane De Witt says, “Lindauer is a party
favourite over summer and there was a
real gap in the market for us to offer our
signature taste and quality, without the
usual alcohol content.
“As a classified sparkling wine, the
grapes are picked, de-juiced, fined,
fermented, stabilised and filtered in the
same way as our other wines. The only
difference is that the product goes
through a gentle and sophisticated
‘Spinning Cone’ process at the end to
remove most of the alcohol,” says Jane.
At no more than 0.5% ABV, Lindauer
Free* has roughly the same amount
of alcohol as you could expect to find
in a ripe banana and some brands of
kombucha.
Lindauer Free* Sparkling Brut and
Rosé are widely available now in
supermarkets and select liquor stores.
