100% Syrah from grapes grown in dryland farmed vineyards in Darling, South Africa. The vineyards are in strategically selected sites, which get the warm sunny and cooling effect of the Atlantic Ocean. Deep soils from decomposed granite and rich clay help to provide good drainage.

The wine is de-alcoholised to 0.5% using a gently spun cone technology under vacuum and at low temperature to ensure that it retains its distinctive body, colour and flavour.

Noughty Syrah is a deliciously well-balanced red wine that is deep ruby red in colour with hints of ripe red fruit, crushed black pepper, dried rose petal and candied cherries integrated with French oak tannins.

Alcohol: 0.5% Vol.
Residual Sugar: 2.5g/100ml

About the Producer

Amanda Thomson is the CEO and Founder of Thomson & Scott. After a successful career as an Arts Broadcaster at the BBC, she moved to Paris and studied for her Diploma in Wine at the renowned Le Cordon Bleu School. She noticed that people were becoming increasingly concerned about what was in their food, but no one was asking what was in their wine. Having been brought up on a vegetarian, no sugar diet by her health conscious single mother, she had a keen interest herself in healthy living. Her idea of creating a Champagne brand based upon honesty and transparency won Amanda the school’s coveted Entrepreneur Award. This led her to work with top wineries to craft her own line and create an entirely new sector in the wine industry: sparkling wines that cut unnecessary sugar, are organic & vegan certified, and above all clear about what’s in the bottle. 

However when she looked into alcohol free wines, the offerings were depressingly bad; they didn’t consider the wine part seriously. Amanda thought she could take a sophisticated, vinous approach to crafting an alcohol-free sparkling just as she created their alcoholic counterparts. Time and research led her to southern Germany and Carl Jung, whose family has a patented method of de-alcoholization, dating from 1908. A partnership fermented, and Noughty, a perfectly balanced alcohol-free Blanc de Blancs was born.

The rise of the non-alcoholic market: projected to reach $1.6 trillion by 2025. ✭ consumers increasingly attracted to well-being ✭ young-minded drinkers also looking to support transparent wines made without unnecessary sugar and animal by-products, and from vines grown in a way respectful of their environment.
