'Spinning Cone' technology is used to reduce the alcohol from a portion of the base wine. This is a process of low vacuum distillation that can target removal of alcohol without impacting the aroma of the wine. The alcohol is reduced to below 1% on approximately 60% of the final volume, with 40% of the base blended back to achieve a final alcohol level of 7%.

Tasting Panel 90 Points | Weighing in at only 70 calories per serving at 7% ABV, this Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and tart, with notes of lime, mango, and gardenia. It settles gracefully on the palate thanks to bright acidity and a squeeze of grapefruit.
