At the beginning of the 20th century, Dr. Carl Jung a wine merchant and son of a winemaking family from the Rheingau (Germany), busied himself with the question: can wine be enjoyed without alcohol? At the time customers were swearing off wine due to health issues. But Carl Jung had a thought: wine needs taste, not alcohol.

Inspired by expeditions to the Himalayas, which used rapidly boiling water at extreme altitudes, he succeeded in 1907 with a ground-breaking invention – a vacuum extraction process where alcohol is gently withdrawn from the wine at less than 30 degrees. With aroma recovery, the natural wine aromas are captured and bouquet and taste are preserved. It was awarded a patent for its process and Carl Jung became the inventor of the alcohol-free wine.

The passion and years of research on his invention led to further patents that refined the quality and taste of Carl Jung non-alcoholic wines.

Whoever appreciates a good Shiraz will appreciate this de-alcoholised alternative. The Carl Jung Shiraz has a strong, red colour and a palate with a hint of chocolate and pleasant tannin structure. Simply typical Shiraz.

Whether you call it Syrah in French or Shiraz in the southern hemisphere – this Rhône grape is always a powerhouse. Its wines can be compared in terms of intensity with a Cabernet Sauvignon – the berries are similarly small and thick skinned.

Carl Jung are the inventors of alcohol-free wines and have been making them for over 100 years.
