The grapes are sourced from South Africa’s Coastal Region, well known for producing premium wines from low-yielding vineyards. All growers involved are proudly Fairtrade certified.
Winemaking & Alcohol Removal
Harvested at full ripeness, the grapes are gently pressed to extract a pale, delicate colour from the must. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 12–14 °C, allowing for a slow process that enhances texture and flavour. After fermentation, the wine rests on the lees for up to three weeks, adding complexity and depth.
Alcohol is carefully removed using a precise vacuum spinning cone method that retains the wine’s natural character.
The result is a crisp and refreshing Non Alcoholic Rose Wine, offering bright strawberry aromas, herbal hints, and zesty citrus flavours. Ideal as an alcohol-free aperitif on warm days, or paired with flavourful fish dishes and fresh salads.

Cognato – meaning “closely related to”
In 2018, cousins David Sommestad and Adam Malmnäs identified the need for an elegant and refined alcohol-free wine to accompany a variety of dishes. Dissatisfied with the existing options, they embarked on creating Cognato, an alcohol-free wine that would exceed expectations. They overcame the challenge of developing a low-sugar alcohol-free wine that closely resembled traditional wines, and their initial offerings, Cognato Rosé and Cognato Red, received a highly positive response. Encouraged by this success, they expanded their range to include Cognato White. In 2020, they proudly achieved Fairtrade certification, demonstrating their commitment to providing fair and sustainable working conditions throughout the production process.
David and Adam's pursuit of a sophisticated alcohol-free wine stemmed from a lack of satisfying alternatives in the market. Through extensive research and collaboration with production partners, they successfully created Cognato, offering a high-quality alcohol-free wine that met the demands of discerning consumers. The positive reception from the public and the addition of Cognato White further solidified their position in the market. Their Fairtrade certification highlights their dedication to ethical practices, ensuring fairness and sustainability throughout the wine production journey.
