Our take on NEWBLOOD
NEWBLOOD is Nugan Estate’s nonalcoholic range from the Riverina in New South Wales. The US importer’s brand page states that heading in those words: Riverina, Australia; non-alcoholic wines, triple-distilled. The wines start as estate wine. Alcohol is then removed by what the producer and its US importers call triple distillation — a slow, low-temperature process in their words. No machine is named. That phrase is recorded as written and classed as Other. See How clearly wine brands disclose production.
What has been tasted
Non-Alcoholic Chardonnay scored 83: citrus blossom and honeysuckle, a little oak, a clean finish, not much weight. Non-Alcoholic Rosé scored 82: wild strawberry and watermelon on a dry, bright Syrah-rosé frame.
Scores are tasted. Research records from this brand do not inherit those numbers. How we score.
Still open
Non-Alcoholic Pinot Grigio and Non-Alcoholic Red Blend are research records: sourced facts, no glass, no score. The red is Shiraz on the Australian label and producer page; US trade pages title it Red Blend and list 100% Syrah.
