{Lout us} [Latin]: pure, elegant and sumptuous. In 2017 Lautus De-Alcoholised wines were launched to produce a non-alcoholic wine that would portray the beautiful complexity, elegance and finesse of premium wine. Great care is taken at this stage to work as gently as possible to retain all the beautiful flavours from fermentation.
The alcohol is removed via spinning cone technology at low temperature under vacuum. The initial phase is to first remove the flavour, set aside. Then the alcohol is removed and once done the flavour can be put back into the de-alcoholised wine. There is a significant volume loss during the process, a portion of this is replaced by grape juice. This helps to fill out the palate and balanced acidity. Normal winemaking practices are followed from here in preparation for bottling.
