NON1 Salted Raspberry & Chamomile
NON1 Salted Raspberry & Chamomile is a sparkling non-alcoholic wine alternative from Australia that brings together intensely flavored Tasmanian raspberries, chamomile, verjus and Murray River salt. The raspberry is bright and juicy rather than candy-sweet, while chamomile adds a soft floral character and lingering tannin. Verjus brings the acidity and that touch of salt pulls everything into balance, creating something fresh, gently savory and surprisingly structured.
Why We Love It
NON1 is playful without being simple. Raspberry makes it immediately approachable, but the chamomile, acidity and subtle salinity give it the complexity to hold its own with food. We also love NON’s culinary approach: it isn’t trying to convince you it’s wine. It’s built around balance, texture and flavor, and that makes it far more interesting.
Especially good with: citrus and fennel salad, prosciutto with melon, creamy goat cheese, soft-rind cheeses, or panna cotta with fresh berries.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Bright Tasmanian raspberry leads — juicy and intensely fruity without being sweet — with a soft chamomile floral lift and a subtle hint of Murray River salt underneath.
Palate: Fresh and lively — raspberry and chamomile carry through the mid-palate, with verjus acidity giving it real structure and the salt pulling everything into a gently savory balance. More complex and food-friendly than the fruit-forward nose suggests.
Finish: Clean and floral, with lingering chamomile tannin and a refreshing saline edge. The salt is the quiet hero — it’s what keeps NON1 from feeling like a fruit drink and gives it genuine wine-like presence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is NON1 Salted Raspberry & Chamomile non-alcoholic?
Yes. NON1 is a fully non-alcoholic sparkling beverage — it contains no alcohol and is built from culinary ingredients rather than dealcoholized wine.
What is a “proxy” and how is NON1 different from dealcoholized wine?
A proxy is a non-alcoholic beverage built from scratch using culinary techniques — fruits, botanicals, acids and salts — rather than made by removing alcohol from wine. NON1 is designed to deliver the balance, texture and complexity of wine without imitating it directly, which gives it a more intentional and complete character.
What does NON1 Salted Raspberry & Chamomile taste like?
Bright Tasmanian raspberry up front — juicy and intensely fruity without being sweet — with chamomile florals, verjus acidity and a subtle Murray River salt that pulls everything into a gently savory, surprisingly structured finish.
Why does NON1 use salt?
Murray River salt is used as a flavor balancer — it suppresses bitterness, enhances fruit intensity, and adds a savory mineral quality that gives NON1 its wine-like complexity and structure. It’s the same principle chefs use when finishing a dish with flaky salt.
Is NON1 a good rosé wine alternative?
Yes — its raspberry-forward profile, fine bubbles, floral chamomile character and dry, structured finish make it a natural substitute for dry sparkling rosé. It’s especially good for anyone who wants the fruit and freshness of rosé without the wine-like character of dealcoholized alternatives.
Where is NON1 made?
NON1 is made in Australia by NON, a producer known for its culinary approach to non-alcoholic beverages. The Tasmanian raspberries are sourced for their intense, concentrated flavor, and Murray River salt is a premium Australian finishing salt.
Does Cheeky & Dry ship NON1 nationwide?
Yes — we ship across the US. Non-alcoholic sparkling beverages ship without the restrictions that apply to alcoholic beverages.
How should I serve and store NON1?
Serve well chilled in a wine glass or coupe. Store unopened in a cool, dark place; once opened, refrigerate and consume within 1–2 days for best carbonation and flavor.
