Divin NoLow: De Monnik Dranken duikt in de wereld van alcoholvrije wijnen

Na de oogst en het maken van de basiswijn wordt door middel van vacuümdistillatie op lage temperatuur de alcohol aan de wijn onttrokken.

Bariè en zijn team zijn continu op zoek naar manieren om de processen en daarmee de kwaliteit van de alcoholvrije wijnen nog verder te verbeteren.

De range

De serie alcoholvrije wijnen van Divin bestaat uit drie sauvignon blanc wijnen. Naast een stille wijn biedt de serie ook een Sparkling en een Sparkling Rosé Blush. De Sparkling Blush ontstaat door de toevoeging van een vleugje rode wijn aan de sauvignon. De chenin blanc, de rosé (een blend van pinot noir, cot, cabernet en gamay) en een pinot noir maken de range compleet.

Het assortiment is nu heden te bestellen:

• 510393 Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc 0,0%
• 510394 Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc Blush 0,0%
• 510395 Sauvignon Blanc 0,0%

De Monnik Dranken starts collaboration with Divin NoLow

Oldenzaal, September 13 2024

As of the middle of September, De Monnik Dranken starts a collaboration with Divin Nolow and becomes the exclusive importer for their alcohol free wines.

De Monnik Dranken (DMD) is a family-owned company, founded in 1918 and currently run by the 4th generation. The company is a respected importer, beverage wholesaler and brand builder for the Dutch market. Throughout the years the company has grown into employing over 140 people and has build up a high quality portfolio of wines and spirits from over 35 different countries. DMD received the designation "Royal" in December 2018 from the King's commissioner.

Divin Nolow is founded in 2019 and is an innovative venture of Les Vignobles Villebois, a renowned family owned winegrowing company, deeply rooted in the art of Sauvignon Blanc production. Nestling at the heart of the most prestigious appellations in the Centre-Val de Loire, such as Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and Touraine, Les Vignobles Villebois has always sought to sublimate this emblematic grape variety of the Loire.

Under the expert guidance of oenologist Alessandro Bariè, Divin produces high quality dealcoholised wines, made of the Sauvignon Blanc and other Loire varieties. The grapes are grown in own vineyards in Touraine. Once the grapes have been harvested and the wine is made, the alcohol is gently extracted at low temperature to preserve all the delicious aroma’s. The Divin wines received great points in prestigious competitions like IWSC, Fallstaf and Concours Mondial de Bruxelles.

The team of Divin is really looking forward to the collaboration with De Monnik Dranken and excited to bring the alcoholfree wines of Divin to the Dutch consumers. Joost de Willebois, owner of Les Vignobles Villebois: “‘We are delighted to enter into this strategic partnership with De Monnik Dranken. DIVIN embodies one of the most innovative initiatives in the Loire, aiming to become the benchmark for non-alcoholic terroir wines. De Monnik Dranken's visionary and dynamic spirit aligns perfectly with our values, paving the way for a fruitful long-term collaboration.'”

Luuk Olde Monnikhof, managing director and co-owner of DMD is equally excited about this new collaboration: “We clearly see a trend where consumers are opting for alcoholfree alternatives. However, the consumer does demand a high quality for alcohol free wines. With Divin we can offer these high quality dealcoholised wines, with the freshness and aroma’s the Loire is known for. We are looking forward to this collaboration.”
