The Best Wine for a Non Alocoholic Frosé
When it comes to creating the perfect non-alcoholic Frosé, the choice of wine is crucial. ALTINA offers a range of botanically infused non-alcoholic wines. Let's take a closer look at our Rose options:
- ALTINA Kakadu Plum Rosé: ALTINA Kakadu Plum Rosé is a perfect blend of premium de-alcoholised Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, and Native Australian Kakadu Plum. This still non-alcoholic rose has a refreshing bouquet of just-ripe strawberries and subtle pink rose. The palate delivers a crisp, dry finish, accompanied by a hint of spice, making it an ideal base for your non-alcoholic Frosé.
- ALTINA La Vie En Rose: ALTINA La Vie En Rose is a non-alcoholic sparkling wine alternative crafted from natural ingredients and native Australian botanicals. This delicate and crisp rose-style bubbles present notes of Hibiscus, native Rosella, and Rose petals. The palate is beautifully balanced with vibrant citrus undertones, providing a natural acidity and a fine creamy texture. The dry and refreshing finish leaves behind lingering flavours of tart Apple and Roses, enhancing the overall Frosé experience.
Whether you opt for the fruity notes of ALTINA Kakadu Plum Rosé or the delicate complexity of ALTINA La Vie En Rose, both options provide a delightful base for your non-alcoholic Frose creation. Experiment and find the perfect match that suits your taste preferences.
