New Organic Alcohol-Free Entry from France
Miami, FL, August 13, 2021 – Now making its U.S. debut with specialty importer Origins Organic, Opia Sparkling Chardonnay (SRP $15) from Domaines Paul Chavin is a new certified organic entry in the fast-growing low-/no-ABV category. Opia, which launched in 2017, becoming an instant hit in its native France, is today an international phenomenon, distributed in over 30 countries in Europe and Asia, with 2020 sales in excess of 400,000 cases worldwide.
Opia Sparkling Chardonnay is created for health-conscious individuals looking for a sophisticated, high-quality alcohol-free wine alternative: no fermentation, no preservatives, no sulfites, and less than a third of the calories found in an average glass of wine. Versatile and vegan friendly, Opia Sparkling Chardonnay can be consumed without moderation and with peace of mind, by itself or in mixed drinks and mocktails.
Certified organic (Ecocert) vineyards in southwest France are the source for Opia, which is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. Societal responsibility and respect for nature, soils and biodiversity are central to Ecocert certification, along with respect for those involved in farming those vineyards and for the local economies. Grapes are harvested in the pre-dawn hours and de-stemmed before undergoing a gentle crush. An eight-hour cold (4° C/39.2° F) maceration on the skins facilitates optimal extraction of polyphenols, anthocyanins, tannins, and resveratrol. Pasteurization ensures a shelf life of up to five years. Bottles are made from recycled glass.
