Low in Alcohol, Low in Kilojoules and Stylishly Repackaged
Robertson Winery, true to its reputation for pioneering, innovation and keeping abreast with the times, launched the first collection of light cultivar wines in 2008, featuring a: Sauvignon Blanc Extra Light, Chenin Blanc Light and Pinotage Rosé Light. This popular range was extended when an Extra Light Merlot was added to the collection in 2011. With the trend towards a healthier lifestyle and the stricter enforcement of drinking and driving laws, this innovative new refreshing light, fruity style of wine - with lighter alcohol levels and fewer calories, without sacrificing quality and taste - proved to be very popular. The energy or kilojoules in wine come from two sources – the alcohol, and the residual sugar left in the wine after fermentation. All four wines in the Light Cultivar range have lower alcohol levels, around 9% compared to the normal 12 or 13%. In addition, the Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot are termed Extra Light because they are extra dry (with 2.5 grams/litre (g/l) or less residual sugar) resulting in a third less calories. BE SURE TO LOOK OUT FOR THE FOUR WINES IN ROBERTSON WINERY’S LIGHT CULTIVAR RANGE: All freshly adorned with stylish new packaging.
