Edenvale wine recognised in a major global award
Australia’s Edenvale wine has secured the IWSC Low & No Wine Producer Trophy for the second year in a row. The win confirms the brand’s strong position in the alcohol-removed category. The 2025 International Wine & Spirit Competition also saw the producer collect two golds, three silvers and eight bronzes. Judges noted that the results marked a standout year.
The repeat win highlights growing interest in sustainable de-alcoholisation. Judges praised Edenvale for reducing the environmental impact of alcohol removal, which is usually energy-heavy. The achievement marks a key moment for a category that continues to evolve as demand for non-alcoholic wine grows.
The IWSC is known for strict judging and global influence. It brings together experts from across the industry. Judge David Kermode MW called Edenvale’s medal haul “a slam dunk”. Judge Alex Hunt MW said the brand had “directly tackled the carbon footprint of de-alcoholisation, something no other entrant has addressed head-on”.
Sustainability at the centre of Edenvale’s growth
Eedenvale introduced its GoLo heat-pump-powered plant in 2024. The system cuts energy use and helps preserve structure and flavour. It has set a new standard for alcohol removal. Many in the sector see it as a sign of how future producers may operate.
The plant supports a portfolio of 21 alcohol-removed wines from regions including the Barossa, Frankland River, Adelaide Hills, Marlborough and La Mancha. The line includes sparkling, red, white and rosé wines. This range offers many alcohol-free options for different tastes.
Recent additions include a Sauvignon Blanc Fumé with textural lees, a Chardonnay made from pressings and a Sparkling Aperitivo inspired by the Italian spritz. These releases show the brand’s aim to expand the style and complexity possible in alcohol-free wine.
Industry response to Edenvale wine
Eedenvale’s continued recognition strengthens its role in the no-alcohol landscape. The brand has spent close to twenty years developing alcohol-removed wine. It uses traditional techniques combined with a gentle removal process. The method helps keep varietal character intact.
Many in the industry say Edenvale has shaped the category through its focus on innovation and sustainability. The back-to-back IWSC trophies show how the brand continues to influence global standards. They also highlight the rise of more refined non-alcoholic options.
Background and context
The IWSC began in 1969. It has grown into the world’s most influential wine and spirits competition. The event rewards producers who excel in quality and technique. As the alcohol-free sector expands, Edenvale’s success signals the strength of Australian producers in a competitive market.
