Product Overview

The De Bortoli 'The Very Cautious One' Shiraz is an alcohol-free red wine from Australia, crafted to retain the complexity of a traditional Shiraz. Produced by the De Bortoli family, it uses advanced de-alcoholisation technology to gently remove alcohol while preserving the grape’s delicate aromas and flavours. Containing no more than 0.5% Alcohol by Volume (ABV), it qualifies as an alcohol-free beverage. It represents the calibre of product a specialist alcohol free company would feature, demonstrating the evolution of non-alcoholic winemaking.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep, rich ruby red.

• Aroma (Nose): An expressive bouquet of dark fruits like blackberry and ripe plum, with a subtle hint of Shiraz spice.

• Palate (Taste): Full-flavoured and well-structured, its fruit-forward profile is supported by soft, smooth tannins for a balanced mouthfeel.

• Finish: A clean and persistent finish that avoids excessive sweetness.

Serving and Food Pairing Recommendations

• Serving Temperature: The optimal serving temperature is 14-16°C. Serving slightly chilled helps focus its fruit flavours and balance the structure.

• Food Pairing: Its robust character pairs well with hearty dishes like beef or lamb roasts, rich tomato-based pasta, and hard cheeses such as aged cheddar or gouda.
