The alcohol removal process can strip away more than just alcohol from wine—it can also diminish the character and depth that creates complexity, and Tomorrow Cellars' 2023 Red Blend remedies this.
Tomorrow Cellars set out to create a first-of-its-kind alcohol-removed red blend to share an uncompromising experience for a new generation of wine lovers, so the brand teamed up with Ian Blessing, founder of All The Bitter and a former sommelier at The French Laundry.
This partnership resulted in the development of a proprietary botanical extract made from natural ingredients to reawaken the flavors and aromas. "This extract is made from whole botanicals carefully selected to enhance the depth and complexity of the Red Blend," detailed Blessing, "Key ingredients like cassis, dark cherry, blueberry, cocoa, and oak evoke rich fruit and tannin structure, while warm spices and the subtle green notes of mint and sage add lift and intrigue, complementing the wine without overpowering it."
