Discover the innovation behind Brown Brothers 'Zero' Cienna, a refreshingly light red wine from Victoria, Australia. Born from over 130 years of winemaking expertise, Brown Brothers continues to lead the way in producing exciting and adventurous wines, with a special focus on sustainability and quality. The 'Zero' range showcases their forward-thinking approach, offering an alcohol-free alternative without compromising on character or flavour. Crafted from the unique Cienna grape, a crossing of Cabernet Sauvignon and the drought-resistant Sumoll variety, this wine embodies the spirit of modern Australian winemaking-vibrant, fruit-driven, and cleverly crafted.
Cultivated in the sun-soaked Mystic Park vineyard in the Murray Valley, the Cienna grape thrives in the hot, arid climate, allowing for expressive and juicy wines with clean, fresh profiles. Brown Brothers applies gentle winemaking techniques and innovative spinning cone distillation to remove alcohol, resulting in a finished product with less than 0.5% ABV while preserving the full expression of the grape.
