Products: Ariel
The only Premium non-alcoholic wines to win a Gold medal against wines with alcohol. Ariel has a patented cold filtration process to remove alcohol. The resultant wine is never heated and therefore retains all of the natural flavour of the grape.
Why is Ariel’s patented process important?
All other processes of alcohol removal, including the spinning cone method, require some form of heat evaporative process.
Heat damages the natural flavour of the grape. Only the Ariel process is done cold, usually less than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Do Ariel wines contain any alcohol?
It is physically impossible to remove 100% of the alcohol from a fermented beverage. The legal definition of a non-alcoholic beverage requires the product to contain less than ½ % of 1% of alcohol. Ariel wines contain less alcohol than freshly squeezed orange juice.
Why non-alcoholic wine?
There are many occassions when people want to enjoy the taste and experience the ritual of fine wine, but do not want the alcohol.
Does it really taste like wine?
Yes. ARIEL is made from some of the best premium grapes grown in California, including cabernet from the Napa Valley and many other varietals from Sonoma, Paso Robles, Monterey and the Delta. Even the sparkling wine is made from Chardonnay and pnot blanc grapes - the tradional grapes of the finest champagnes. Some of the wines are aged in small oak barrels and are fined and filtered according the best traditional methods. Then, just before bottling the alcohol is filtered out from the wine.
What is non-alcoholic wine?
Non-alcoholic wines are distinctly different from grape juices and other non-alcholic beverages. ARIEL makes wine with alcohol from premium varietal grapes, ferments them to dryness, then removes the alcohol, through a patented cold filtration process. This allows the consumer to enjoy the pleasure and nuances of a fermented beverage without alcohol.

VARIETALS
Cabernet Sauvignon offers all of the benefits of a red wine, with less than half of one – percent alcohol.

Our Winemaker searches out Cabernet Sauvignon with a good balance of desirable fruit characteristics and adequate but not overwhelming tannins.

WINEMAKING
Cabernet Sauvignon is fermented and aged in the traditional red wine method: fermentation in stainless steel cooperage on the skins at temperatures above 75ºF (24ºC). After fermentation, the wine is separated from the skins and a portion is moved into a combination of French and American oak barrels for extended aging. Just prior to bottling, the alcohol is gently removed by cold filtration.
WINEMAKER NOTES
Rich in color and flavor, oak-aged Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas of blueberries, blackberries, black pepper and chocolate, with a hint of toasty oak, soft tannins and a dry finish. At its optimum maturity eighteen months after bottling, it can be enjoyed immediately of held for up to five to seven years before enjoying. Serve with beef, lamb, and heavily sauced pasta dishes.
