Moderato Cuvée Révolutionnaire Merlot-Tannat Alcohol Free Red Wine (0.5% ABV)

Moderato Cuvée Révolutionnaire Le Merlot-Tannat is a ground-breaking, 0.5% ABV red wine that solves the biggest challenge in low-alcohol winemaking: structure and body. By blending the plush, rounded dark fruit of Merlot with the structured, tannic backbone of Gascony’s iconic Tannat grape, Moderato creates a remarkably authentic, medium-bodied red. Gently dealcoholised via low-temperature vacuum distillation, it preserves genuine wine complexity, real tannins, and a dry finish without relying on added sugars.

Tasting Notes & Style

Harvested at peak maturity to ensure soft, integrated tannins, this French red blend delivers depth, earthiness, and a velvety mouthfeel:

• The Nose: Rich and inviting, opening with fragrant aromas of crushed ripe blackberries, dark cherries, plum, a touch of liquorice, and subtle notes of sweet spice and vanilla.
• The Palate: Smooth, structured, and fruit-forward. Velvety Merlot fruit is balanced by Tannat’s authentic tannic grip, providing a genuine wine texture and balanced acidity.
• The Finish: Dry, clean, and satisfyingly long, ending with lingering dark berry fruit and a touch of black tea complexity.

Best For & Gifting Occasions
