Have you ever wondered how we remove the alcohol from our wine without compromising the authentic varietal flavours? Whether it be Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz or Rosé, our alcohol-removal process retains the taste, texture and aromas of your favourite wine.
Removing Alcohol From Wine - The Future Is Here How is alcohol removed from wine at the new facility? Central to the facility is a GoLo heat-pump powered unit, the first of its kind in the world. The new unit fulfills the heating and cooling functions of the equipment in one process, ensuring greater efficiency and minimising the heat shock to the wine. The GoLo unit loses 50 percent less wine volume in the alcohol removal process than older technologies and returns more heavy aromatic essence to the final product for improved flavour. The process is also considerably more efficient than previous technology, producing 2200L of wine per hour. In a nutshell, the GoLo separates wine into three parts—alcohol, de-alcoholised liquid and essence—and then blends the essence back with the de-alcoholised liquid to create the final alcohol-removed base wines that our expert winemakers use for blending the Edenvale wines that we all know and love.
How Our Alcohol Removed Wine Is Environmentally Friendlier The Edenvale facility is a world-first in sustainable winemaking. Given that GoLo can perform heating and cooling duties simultaneously, it has effectively halved the use of energy we require for dealcoholisation. This groundbreaking approach eliminates the need for fossil fuels to run the equipment, significantly reducing carbon emissions and enhancing production efficiencies. The process also relies on minimal water, which is a win for all. The result is a dealcoholised wine that tastes better and is better for the planet.
