‘Meadows’ by Pamplemousse Jus & Dominion Cider

Meadows is an aromatic non-alcoholic wine alternative made from a blend of pinot gris juice and skins and apple juice, which is then infused with foraged botanicals including juniper, rosehips, sumac and sage. A small splash of actual wine adds a level of depth. Botanicals like rosehips contribute colour, texture, and acidity in the absence of alcohol. Lightly carbonated, not too sweet.

Pour this in a wine glass and you have something complex, aromatic, and unique to swirl and sip on all evening that tastes delicious and shows off the ingenuity of 2 great BC beverage makers. 

This drink is diluted to the perfect sweetness level, and has a tiny splash of actual wine added which lends depth to the overall experience. The well extracted pinot gris skins provide the beautiful quince-y colour and ample texture. The final product is 0.5% ABV. 

ABV: 0.5%

RS: 10g/L or 2g/200ml
