Wine with 9% alcohol and bursting with flavor? Discover Saint Georges d’Ibry at Passie voor Wijn Breda

Low alcohol, high quality

Wines with a lower alcohol percentage often have a lesser reputation. Many low-alcohol wines lack body, fruit, and character. Yet, the remarkable 9% wines from Saint Georges d’Ibry prove that it can be done differently. At Passie voor Wijn Breda , you will find three surprising varieties:

• White wine

• Rosé

• Red wine

All three with just 9% alcohol, but while fully retaining flavor, freshness, and balance.

Why are these 9% wines so special

Here is the translation into the same engaging style:

Standard modern wines nowadays often contain:

• 13%

• 14%

• sometimes even 15% alcohol

This is because grapes are being harvested riper and riper. The riper the grape, the more sugar is present. During alcoholic fermentation, yeasts convert these sugars into alcohol. The wines of Saint Georges d’Ibry, on the other hand, are deliberately harvested earlier. Because of this:

• The natural sugar levels remain lower.

• Less alcohol is produced.

• The grapes retain their crisp acidity.

• Fruitier aromas are preserved.

This process is completely natural, without removing alcohol from the wine afterwards. That is what makes this series truly unique within the world of low-alcohol wines.
