Reg Holder started his career with vintages in France, Australia and the USA before returning to South Africa. He then spent 11 years as the winemaker at both Neil Ellis and Delheim. In 2015, while his wife was pregnant with their first child, he started experimenting with de-alcoholised wine for her. When they were expecting their second, in 2017, Reg decided that he was going to move full time into the Lautus de-alcoholised project.
Reg uses his traditional winemaking expertise to craft this outstanding Rosé, made from Pinotage grapes sourced in Voor Paardeberg, South Africa.
He then uses a state of the art piece of machinery that combines centrifugal force and a vacuum in order to extract the alcohol while leaving the wines’ volatile flavour and aromatic essence intact.
This delightful non-alcoholic wine boasts a burst of summer berries – think strawberries and a medley of red fruits.
Unquestionably the best range of de-alcoholised wines we have tried!
Tasting Notes: Showcasing pure aromas of sweet red berry fruit with floral notes. The elegant palate shows a touch of sweetness, finishing fresh with a well-balanced acidity. To be enjoyed in its purest and natural form, without the restrictions of alcohol.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with seafood and tomato based pasta.
