Vinada - low alcohol sparkling wine
VINADA is a range of three no/low alcohol sparkling wines which launched in the UK in November 2021. In the same month, they received accolades from the IWSC including a Gold Trophy and won the No/Low Category Award for their Crispy Chardonnay.
Founded in The Netherlands in 2018 by Jessica Van Spaendonk, who was fed up with other no/low alcohol wines and set out to create a quality wine with a superior taste and balanced flavour. VINADA wines are made using a dealcoholization process that retains most of the wine’s original aromas and taste.
The wine is now available in 29 countries but only just launched in the UK… currently available on Amazon and launching in a couple of other places imminently.
Crispy Chardonnay
IWSC Gold Trophy - 95 points
Sparkling wine made from a unique mixture of Chardonnay grapes from the French wine-growing region Languedoc. An impressive balanced flavour - crisp, fresh with nuances of fruit - an aroma of apple, melon and a bit of citrus on the palate. Dry and full of attitude.
Tinteling Tempranillo Rosé
IWSC 2021 Bronze
A fruity ruby pink dry sparkling wine made with a mixture of Tempranillo grapes from La Mancha in Spain. VINADA Rosé has a refreshing taste, aromas of red fruit (strawberry, redcurrant, raspberry). Harmonious acidity and subtle tannins.
VINADA Amazing Airén Gold
IWSC 2021 Bronze
A golden dry sparkling wine that is soft and gentle but with an abundance of taste. Subtle spicy / citrus aroma - white fruity sensations in both smell and taste followed by a soft, crisp mousse finishing. Dry aftertaste.
ABOUT VINADA
The brand aims to be fun, fearless and feminine. The name comes from the French for wine “vin” and “nada” Spanish for none - in this case no alcohol.
Jessica says: “Wine is a traditional industry and non-alcoholic wines used to be a taboo. I like to look at it like we are 3 years behind on the non-alcoholic beer segment. The consumer is changing, and the products are changing with the consumer. I think our job is to focus on quality and introduce people to good quality wines.”
“I searched a long time before I found the right grape to make VINADA. The sweeter grapes with the right acidity perform better after dealcoholizing. We found these grapes in the sunny South of France and Spain where we set up a joint venture with a company that was ready for a long ride. When we were searching for a partner, the most important thing is the quality of the final product. We invested a lot in tooling to improve the production process and we hope the customer will be happy with the end result.”
