Production of Alcohol-Free Chardonnay – Lautus

The Chardonnay grapes for Alcohol-Free Chardonnay - Lautus come from cooler-influenced regions of South Africa, where fresh sea breezes ventilate the vineyards. Warm days and noticeably cooler nights preserve the grapes’ natural acidity and encourage slow, aromatic ripening. The soils consist of sandy and loamy layers with mineral inclusions, giving the grape variety a clear, precise expression. The winemakers pay close attention to vineyard work so that the grapes arrive at the winery with perfect ripeness and impeccable quality.

The harvest is carried out selectively, so that only ripe, aromatic, and high-quality Chardonnay grapes enter the winery. Gentle pressing protects the freshness of the aromas, especially those of lemon, green apple, and orange. The must is fermented under temperature-controlled conditions to emphasize the fruity style and clearly highlight the characteristic Chardonnay notes. The wine then matures, partly in contact with wood, allowing the delicate oak nuances to integrate subtly into the flavor profile.

Dealcoholization is carried out with particular care for the aromas. The fully matured Chardonnay undergoes a special process in which the alcohol is gently removed while the aromatic density and natural structure are retained as far as possible. This creates an alcohol-free wine that preserves the character of a classic Chardonnay. The winemaker’s style consistently focuses on clarity, pure fruit, and a crisp, fresh texture. Every stage of production aims to offer white-wine enjoyment without alcohol.
