About Us Old
How Did FitVine Come About?
FitVine Wine was born when friends made a pact to craft amazing wines that also fit their lifestyles. Our team is always on the go, whether we’re doing high intensity workouts, cycling, running, skiing, paddle boarding, or just enjoying the outdoors. We set about combining our love for wine and fitness with an ethic for sustainability.
Our Fermentation Process.
To create wines that are clean tasting and rich in flavor and mouthfeel, our wines go through an extended fermentation process. We ferment to dry, lowering sugar levels, which is why our wines average less than 1.0g of sugar per liter or ~0.01g - 0.09g per 5oz glass. As of July 2018, we have updated our nutritional info to account for a 5 oz sample size compared to a 4 oz size, which is what we listed in the past. The updated information is below and will soon be reflected on bottle labels for our products. Here are the breakdowns per varietal:
Cabernet Sauvignon average analysis per 5oz glass @ 14.1% alcohol:
0.06g of sugar, 117 calories, 3.9g of carbohydrates
Pinot Noir average analysis per 5oz glass @ 13.9% alcohol:
0.03g of sugar, 118 calories, 3.7g of carbohydrates
Rose average analysis per 5oz glass @ 12.4% alcohol:
0.09g of sugar, 112 calories, 2.8g of carbohydrates
Chardonnay average analysis per 5oz glass @ 13.4% alcohol:
0.04g of sugar, 115 calories, 2.5g of carbohydrates
Pinot Grigio average analysis per 5oz glass @ 13.4% alcohol:
0.09g of sugar, 109 calories, 2.5g of carbohydrates
Sauvignon Blanc average analysis per 5oz glass @ 13.4% alcohol:
0.09g of sugar, 114 calories, 2.7g of carbohydrates
Holiday Red Blend average analysis per 5oz glass @ 13.9% alcohol:
0.01g of sugar, 120 calories, 3.5g of carbohydrates
Not only does our proprietary process allow us to extract more color and tannins, we also filter all of our wines with both diatomaceous earth and micron pads so they are gluten free and vegan friendly. Our wines contain sulfites at <35 ppm (parts per million).
Our Grapes
We are very picky when selecting grapes. We choose only the highest quality grapes from small farmers who focus on quality, not quantity. Our story doesn’t include fancy chateaus or barrels hewed from the limbs of majestic oaks. We’re OK with that and we think you will be too.
If you’re trying to be more conscious about what you’re putting into your body and looking for a wine that champions the way you want to live your life - drink FitVine -
What Does All This Mean
It means we take the extra time and effort to create wines that are not only clean tasting but also have the flavor, mouthfeel and alcohol you come to expect from a great wine. As you can see, we have received high marks from customers and reviewers, whom are thrilled to have discovered FitVine Wine.
