Languedoc-Roussillon based Domaines Auriol
focus their product development on their ability
to analyse market requirements and then adapt
wine styles accordingly.
"We took the same approach when we began
making organic wine 20 years ago;
it’s all about meeting the expectations
of a new generation of consumers.
We aim to nurture new wine drinkers,
while offering more experienced consumers
a quality product that meets their requirements
in terms of diet and health choices."
Claude Vialade
The wines in the So'Light range have no residual sugar (less than 2 grams per litre) and thus are low
in calories (60–63 calories per 120 ml glass). They have reduced alcohol (9%, compared to an
average 12–13% found in traditional wines), and thus offer a neat solution to the problem of
reconciling health and pleasure.
They have a clear appearance, an aromatic, fruity nose and are full of flavour, thanks to their groundbreaking
production method.
The range comprises three wines; a red Merlot, a Vin de Pays rosé
made with Grenache and Cinsault, and a white Terret-Sauvignon blend.
The wines are made out of a de-alcoholising protocol using combined membranes technologies.
This protocol was achieved through experimentations authorized by the DGCCRF.
