Cognato alcohol-free wines showcase grapes grown in the Coastal Region of South Africa, celebrated for its exceptional wines originating from low-yielding vineyards. They proudly collaborate with Fairtrade-certified growers, to create delicious, low-sugar wines.
Process:
Harvested at full ripeness, typically between 23 and 24 Balling, the grapes are destemmed, and the juice is gently extracted through pressing. After an overnight settling process and racking from the lees, the grape juice is inoculated with cultured yeast and undergoes a slow fermentation at temperatures ranging from 12 to 14°C, enhancing the wine’s mouthfeel. Following fermentation, the wine rests on the lees for 3 weeks, enhancing its complexity. Cognato's carefully designed vacuum spinning cone process ensures the delicate removal of alcohol, preserving the wine’s integrity.

A crisp and fruity wine, with enticing notes of citrus and freshly cut grass on the nose.
