Story

Moderato started the way all good ideas do: two people crossing paths at exactly the right moment. Fabien, the brand brain with a taste for doing things differently, and Sébastien, born into wine and raised on terroir, looked at the way we drink and thought… surely there’s another way. Not less pleasure, not less flavour - just a smarter balance. Moderato is their answer: wines made for people who love wine deeply, but don’t always want the alcohol attached.

What sets Moderato apart is how seriously they take the craft. This isn’t grape juice in disguise - it’s real wine first, made from carefully chosen grape varieties and proper winemaking, then gently dealcoholised with precision and respect. They use low-temperature vacuum distillation to lift the alcohol while keeping the soul of the wine intact. Every decision is about harmony - acidity, roundness, structure - so the final wine still feels satisfying, and alive. It’s moderation without compromise, pleasure without pressure, and proof that “non-alc” can still taste seriously good.

This non-alc white leans straight into fresh, youthful energy. On the nose it’s all crisp apple, lemon and lime, with a lift of white flowers that gives proper young-white-wine vibes. The palate is dry and zippy, driven by high acidity and creamy apple-lemon notes that keep it bright and refreshing.

PAIRING GUIDE

For food, think light, crunchy, and citrus-friendly. This works nicely with fresh salads, grilled veg, simple fish or tofu dishes, and anything with herbs, lemon, or a touch of cream. Soft cheeses, mezze-style plates, or a veggie pasta with olive oil and citrus zest are right in its wheelhouse. Serve it well chilled, keep the flavours fresh, and let it do its thing as an easygoing lunch or aperitif pour.
