Songbird is an independent non-alcoholic wine label based in Melbourne. They have quite a range of alcohol-free wines, but this is the first opportunity I have had to review one! Why not start PREMIUM hey?? This is a de-alcoholised premium reserve South Australian Shiraz, and it is vegan…huzzah!

In the glass, this pours a dark rich ruby red colour. It’s very viscous, thick, juicy, and so opaque you can barely see through it. Like a good Shiraz should be! On the nose, I get a little tartness, like plum and some rich red berry aromas.

To taste, its a leeeetle on the sweet side, you definitely get a big hit of fruit. But it is well balanced. There are nice soft tannins and it’d really rich and luscious. Far from thin! You get the full mouth experience here! I have had this open at least an hour but I am going to give it even longer and see if the extra oxidization helps even more!

Update: I have revisited the following day after giving her a night in the fridge to come into her own a little. The effect is a little drier finish, the tannins push through more, which I love. So if that is what you are into, definitely give  this non alcoholic wine the opportunity to air.

Rating: 9/10
