For the second year running, Australian alcohol-removed wine brand, Edenvale, has been awarded the Low & No Wine Producer Trophy at the 2025 International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), bolstering its reputation as an industry leader in innovation and sustainability.

The brand collected two golds, three silvers, and eight bronzes at this year’s IWSC – “a slam dunk” as described by judge David Kermode MW. 

The IWSC is the industry’s largest and most respected global panel, renowned for its expertise, influence and personal approach. IWSC trophies are awarded to the standout performers across a range of categories spanning grape varieties, spirits, design and packaging.

For Edenvale, this is an incredible honour that recognises the winery’s ongoing commitment to excellence in the alcohol-removed industry. 

Removing alcohol from wine is a notoriously energy-intensive process, and doing so sustainably is a challenge. While many producers avoid addressing the issue, Edenvale has resolved to make a difference.

IWSC judge Alex Hunt MW praised the brand for “directly [tackling] the carbon footprint of de-alcoholisation, something no other entrant has addressed head-on”.

The brand’s GoLo heat-pump-powered plant, commissioned in 2024, cuts energy use dramatically while protecting the integrity of the wine. This focus on responsibility underpins a portfolio that has now grown to 21 alcohol-removed wines, from Australia’s best known winegrowing regions such as the Barossa, Frankland River and Adelaide HIlls, as well as Marlborough in New Zealand and La Manca in Spain.
