About Lautus

Lautus De-Alcoholised Wines, established in 2017 by winemaker Reg Holder in South Africa, emerged from a personal inspiration during his wife's pregnancy. Recognizing the need for high-quality non-alcoholic wines, Holder combined traditional winemaking expertise with innovative de-alcoholization techniques to craft wines that embody the complexity and elegance of premium wines, without the alcohol content.

Sustainability at Lautus

While specific sustainability practices of Lautus are not publicly detailed, the winery emphasizes producing non-alcoholic wines with care and attention, ensuring that their products meet the expectations of consumers seeking mindful drinking options.

Signature Alcoholic Wines

Lautus focuses exclusively on producing non-alcoholic wines and does not offer alcoholic wine varieties. Their range includes de-alcoholised sparkling, red, white, and rosé wines, crafted to provide a genuine wine experience without the effects of alcohol.

Why did Lautus start making non-alcoholic wine?

The inception of Lautus was driven by founder Reg Holder's desire to create a non-alcoholic wine that retained the complexity, elegance, and finesse of premium wines. This pursuit was initially inspired by his wife's desire for such options during her pregnancy, leading to the development of a product that caters to those seeking a sophisticated, alcohol-free wine experience.

How does Lautus produce their non-alcoholic wine?

Lautus employs a meticulous process to produce their non-alcoholic wines:

  • Traditional Winemaking: High-quality grapes are selected and fermented using conventional winemaking techniques to develop the desired flavor profiles.
  • De-Alcoholization: The wine undergoes a de-alcoholization process utilizing spinning cone technology, which removes the alcohol while preserving the wine's volatile flavor and aromatic essence.
  • Blending: After de-alcoholization, the wine is carefully blended to achieve balance and complexity, ensuring that the final product mirrors the characteristics of traditional wines.

This approach allows Lautus to offer non-alcoholic wines that provide a satisfying and authentic wine experience.
