About Sutter Home

Sutter Home Winery was founded in 1948 by the Trinchero family, who transformed it into one of the largest family-owned wineries in the United States. Initially known for their Zinfandel, the winery gained massive recognition in the 1970s with the introduction of White Zinfandel, a sweet blush wine that became a cultural phenomenon. Today, Sutter Home remains a key player in the U.S. wine industry, offering a broad range of accessible wines that appeal to a wide audience. The Trinchero family continues to manage the winery, preserving its family legacy and commitment to quality.

Why did they start making non alcoholic wine?

Sutter Home launched its non-alcoholic 'Fre' range to meet the needs of consumers looking for alcohol-free alternatives without compromising on taste. The idea behind the Fre range is to offer wine lovers the opportunity to enjoy the social and sensory aspects of wine, even if they choose not to consume alcohol. The non-alcoholic wines in the Fre range maintain the flavors and aromas of traditional wine, providing a satisfying experience for those seeking an alternative.

How do they produce their non alcoholic wine?

Sutter Home's Fre non-alcoholic wines are produced using a technique called reverse osmosis, where the alcohol is carefully removed from the wine while preserving its flavors. This process allows the wines to maintain the complexity and taste of their alcoholic counterparts. After dealcoholization, the wine undergoes adjustments to ensure that its body and mouthfeel are close to those of traditional wine. This results in a high-quality non-alcoholic wine that can be enjoyed on any occasion.
