TORONTO, June 1, 2021 /CNW/ - Just in time for summer, Cupcake Wines has launched Cupcake LightHearted Chardonnay, a new lower-calorie and lower-alcohol wine to its portfolio of premium, award-winning California wines. With just 100 calories, 8% ALC/VOL, and less than 1g of sugar per 6oz. serving, Cupcake LightHearted brings full flavour to all of life's lighter moments.
"We are excited to launch Cupcake Lighthearted in Canada, offering a light and easy-to-drink Chardonnay option," says Mike Moorhouse, Brand Manager. "Its lower alcohol volume makes it perfect for a refreshing summer drink to enjoy on patios, virtual happy hours with friends, or post-workout celebrations."
Cupcake LightHearted Chardonnay is a medium-bodied wine with tasting notes of fresh-cut pineapple and ripe pear. A portion of the wine was aged in oak, which imparts subtle notes of toasted oak and vanilla on the finish. It is vegan, gluten-free, and low carb without sacrificing the rich or deep flavours of traditional wine.
"I created Cupcake LightHearted after realizing there wasn't a lower-calorie and lower-alcohol wine option on the market that was delicious and complemented my active lifestyle," says Jessica Tomei, Winemaker for Cupcake Vineyards. "I'm an avid runner, and some days I want something that's lower in calories and alcohol but doesn't sacrifice flavour. Cupcake LightHearted checks all the boxes."
It is now available in Ontario and select private retailers across British Columbia. It is rolling out across other regions over the next few weeks.
