NON2 Caramelised Pear & Kombu Sparkling Wine

NON 2 Caramelised Pear & Kombu

A sparkling non-alcoholic wine alternative with a bold body and a buttery texture. Pears are roasted until their natural sugars caramelize, then sous vide overnight. Spice and black tea bring tannin, Japanese kombu and Kalamata olive brine add salinity, and verjus from Barossa Valley Semillon grapes provides acidity. Agave and vanilla melt it all together. Ginger, cardamom, peppercorn, star anise, and clove add warmth, with a mineral kombu note and a lingering spice finish. It is vegan and gluten-free, with about 25 calories per glass.

Serve it chilled in a wine glass. It pairs well with cheese boards, roasted meats and mushrooms, and desserts, and it suits grilling, autumn evenings, and any night you want something to sip slowly. Natural sediment may occur, so tip the bottle gently before serving. It contains caffeine from black tea (51.8 mg per bottle, versus about 100 mg in a cup of coffee).
