Jacob's Creek introduces UNVINED, Pernod Ricard India forays into the non alcoholic wine category 

Today, leading Australian wine brand, Jacob’s Creek announced the launch of Unvined, a non-alcoholic wine  with less than 0.5% alcohol, available in two varietals - Riesling and Shiraz. Unvined, a modern expression of  winemaking, is the perfect answer to occasions when one wants to enjoy a glass of wine without the alcohol  content yet retaining the true character of the original styles and flavors.  

The winemakers at Jacob’s Creek use sophisticated technology which removes alcohol whilst capturing most  of the original aromas and flavours of the wine. The Unvined range has 50% less calories than regular wine  of the same varietal, catering to the evolved consumer base looking for varied options to suit their  preferences and mood. With the introduction of these two new varietals under non-alcoholic wine category,  Jacob’s Creek truly delivers on a coveted portfolio of wines that everyone around the table will want to reach  for.  

“Non-alcoholic wine may sound  counterintuitive and something out of the ordinary, however sometimes it’s exactly what the evening calls  for. The idea behind creation of Unvined was to ensure that everyone is able to celebrate important life  moments with their friends and family in a way that fits with their lifestyle. Given Jacob’s Creek’s vast  expertise in winemaking, we have created a product that has a perfect balance of taste while preserving the  natural grape profile. We are proud to release Unvined in India. It is an exceptional product with less than  0.5% alcohol and a faithful expression of premium wines from Australia”. 

Kartik Mohindra, Chief Marketing Officer, Pernod Ricard India

Unvined Riesling offers attractive citrus, lime and floral notes that are typical of Australian Riesling. The light  bodied palate of the non-alcoholic wine with refreshing fruit notes is balanced by a crisp acidity on the finish. 

While Unvined Shiraz has appealing plum, blackberry and spice notes distinctive to a South Australian Shiraz.  Its medium bodied palate delivers sweet fruit and light toasty oak flavour supported by soft ripe tannins. Unvined can be readily enjoyed with a wide selection of foods. For the Riesling white meat, seafood dishes  and salads make for a perfect companion. For the Shiraz, lighter style curries go perfectly well.  

Unvined Riesling and Shiraz are available in select retail outlets in Delhi and Mumbai and pan-India through Amazon India at INR 900/-.
