Sometimes the term ‘game changer’ can be thrown around… But in this case, South Australia’s very own Sidewood Estate has introduced a highly innovative product line that is expected to change the wine industry forever. A total game changer…
Working with some of the world’s top Fruiticulturalists, Sidewood’s science team and viticuluralists have been working for months on the world’s first wine infused grape. They have been doing so since discovering an enzyme in the skin of the fruit called BS14d that, once activated, is able to hold alcohol without the skin disintegrating.
And so we say hello to Sidewood‘s ‘Grape Expectations’ range… The inaugural varietal launched today is the Sidewood Pinot Gris grape. Sidewood hopes to extend the range to include other varietals by the end of the year and also include cider infused apples.
Vineyard Owner, Owen Inglis believes the move is going to place Sidewood Estate a step ahead in the wine game,
“Having wine infused grapes as a product of Sidewood was never something we thought would be a possibility or was even on our radar. After ‘stumbling’ across the discovery of the enzyme by accident during a standard product quality analysis we thought it would be silly not to investigate the possibility of the product further” he said.
The ‘Grape Expectations’ range can be frozen and taken to picnics or to simply add more flavour to a punch or fruit salad. Available in packages of 24 retailing for $9.95, the product is available exclusively from the Cellar Door and the online store.
But hang on……… APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!! Come on guys we wish they existed too but this is all just too good to be true!
