Billed as an 'alcohol-removed' sparkling wine, Lussory Gold is part of a line of high end Spanish wines created by a family of winemakers established for over 200 years in the vineyards of La Mancha, Spain. Lootah says that Lussory Gold is made in the same way as regular wine or champagne, Lussory is a 100% halal product with 0.0% alcohol content.
CK Group, which brings in Lussory wines in Singapore, says on its website that de-alcoholised wines "have their own personality, fruity and aromatic but lighter in texture and taste wines with alcohol. Compared to conventional wines, texture and colour are very and similar in presentation and ritual. The flavour is also very similar and can be confused in blind wine tastings."
Commenting on the launch, Tony Colley, General Manager of Lootah Premium Foods, said; “We are excited about bringing the Lussory Gold brand to Dubai, as we have experienced great demand for first-class halal champagne from our consumers and clients, wishing to offer a premier experience at weddings, birthdays or corporate events.
“Lussory’s range of wines have proven to be very popular in the UAE and across the wider region, as they offer a delicious premium experience just like the real thing, but are totally free from alcohol.”
Lussory Gold is available at restaurant and pastry house Bystro on Al Manara road. Bystro which will feature the mocktails on its menu, as well as a range of the halal wines available to buy by the bottle.
Lootah suggests using Lussory for food pairing, cooking, and mixing of mocktails.
In Singapore, Makansutra has a list of restaurants where the halal Lussory wines are available, and suggested a list of food pairings. Lussory wines can be ordered in Singapore here.
The company offers other luxury foods, including plums in different colours, black garlic, and finger limes (below), billed as the most unusual of citrus fruits.
