Sugarless Organic Wine : Distributors of Organic Wine & Champagne

Vinos De La Cruz is the oldest winery in Uruguay, and an ancient eighteenth century winery. The only one of it’s kind. Situated 100 kilometres from Montivedeo, Florida. It is a family company of about 60 hectares of vineyards. It is the only winery in the world that is the producer of sugarless organic wines that are certified suitable for people with diabetes.

Following the boom of the US environmental move in the 1990’s, half of the vineyard became organic using only natural methods without chemical fertilizers or the synthesis process.

In 2002, a diabetic discovered the wine and thought that its organic properties could be taken without prejudice to ones health. As the consumption of the organic wine did not affect blood glucose levels, the owner was approached about the experience. Mr Arocena then conducted a laboratory analysis on the wines.

The organic process ensures the good health of the grapes. The yeast of the grape transforms the entire sugar into alcohol without altering the therapeutic benefits of the wines and qualities such as colour, alcohol level, acidity, carbohydrates, levels of energy protein and flavourings.

The laboratory analysis indicated that there was no sugar in any of the wines. The wines were then certified by the Uruguayan Diabetes Association, Juvenile Diabetes Association of Sao Paulo, Brazil, US Food and Drug Administration approved, United States Department of Agriculture and International Process Organization of Certification.

On 20 April at the last congress of Diabetology held in Denmark they were able to establish the qualities of the wines and the absence of sugar. The wines are currently undergoing certification by the International Diabetes Association.

Today the winery has 48 employees and turns over a million dollars. It produces 600,000 bottles per annum and 95% of its production is to export. It is currently being exported to United States, Japan, the Caribbean, United Kingdom, Spain and Italy.

Exportation has commenced to Australia and New Zealand for the first time and the wines will be available on the market by Christmas.
