Enotech株式會社(總公司:東京都港區,代表取締役社長:堀 慎二)將於4月起在日本全國販售與法國酒莊Chavins共同開發的酒精濃度0.0%(※2)的葡萄酒風味飲料『Joya Organic Sparkling Chardonnay Prestige』。
『Joya Organic Sparkling Chardonnay Prestige』是2021年上市的『Joya Organic Sparkling Chardonnay』的頂級酒款(Prestige Cuvée)。以香檳清爽高雅的風格為目標,在Chavins累積超過15年的釀造技術基礎上,經過與Enotech長達3年的共同開發而誕生。
原料採用在南法標高50~400m、面向不同方位的15個區塊以有機農法栽培的夏多內(Chardonnay)。採收的葡萄會依區塊分別釀造、熟成,並應用香檳所使用的調配(Assemblage,※3)技法,混合15種基酒。此外,經過6~9個月的酵母熟成,以及部分在法國橡木桶中熟成,為風味帶來深度與複雜性。
製造過程中,並非採用『Joya Organic Sparkling Chardonnay』所使用的非發酵法(不使用發酵原料),而是採用將已完成的葡萄酒僅分離酒精的脫酒精製法,最大限度地引出葡萄酒原有的香氣與風味。完全不添加香料,可享受到全來自葡萄酒本身的香氣,如白花、柑橘、黃桃、蘋果、布里歐麵包(Brioche)或吐司等。口感滑順,細緻的氣泡令人印象深刻。成熟的蘋果與布里歐麵包風味悠長,引導出乾爽俐落的餘韻。
※1 本公司將使用釀酒用葡萄或製法等,表現出葡萄酒香氣與風味,酒精濃度在1%以下~0.005%以上的飲料,稱為「葡萄酒風味飲料」。
※2 依原料來源,含有未滿0.1%的酒精成分。
※3 將多種不同葡萄品種、不同產區或不同年份的基酒混合的傳統技法。
近年來,隨著健康意識的提高與生活方式的多樣化,選擇不飲酒的人越來越多。另一方面,以葡萄酒愛好者為中心,即使是葡萄酒風味飲料,對於追求道地風味與飲用體驗的需求也日益增長。
考量到這些背景,本公司於2021年以「即使沒有酒精也能感動人心的體驗」為概念,推出了葡萄酒風味飲料『Joya Organic Sparkling Chardonnay』。『Joya Organic Sparkling Chardonnay』因其高品質而受到肯定,在「日經Plus1 什麼都排!『用無酒精葡萄酒乾杯!』」(2025年12月20日刊載)中獲得第3名。『Joya Organic Sparkling Chardonnay Prestige』追求更高層次的葡萄酒般品質。
