Woodstar is a skilfully crafted blend of berries, botanicals and cocoa. Light, artfully balanced, with a surprisingly complex depth of flavour, it’s a drink to be sipped and savoured.

Woodstar loves company. It is great with fish or chicken, with red meats and cheese. Perfect with a meal or an evening with friends

Growing wild in the Amazonian forest and naturally high in anti-oxidants, our açai berries are carefully harvested and skilfully macerated in alcohol for twelve weeks to release all of their colour and flavour.

In France, Gilles our Master Liquoriste then blends this infusion with blackcurrants, blueberries, cocoa extract and just enough je ne sais quoi to create something totally unique: A delicious drink that’s just 1% ABV.

It takes the skill and experience of a craftsman to create a drink that makes the occasion special when you are not relying on alcohol. Gilles selects and blends our berries and botanicals using traditional methods to create a drink that has character and lightness in the mouth and a deliciously dry finish. Poured into a wine glass it makes every meal feel special.

As for its name? In the Amazonian forests where we harvest our açai, there lives a tiny hummingbird called the Amethyst Woodstar. One of the lightest birds in the world, its amethyst breast plumage reflects the colour of Woodstar. It represents for us the very essence of freedom and enjoyment that we craft into every bottle.

We love good food, great wine and the company of friends. However, when we choose to avoid alcohol we still want a drink that suits the occasion.

So we decided to make Woodstar, a crafted blend of natural ingredients full of goodness. It has no added sugar, no artificial colours or flavours, no sulphites and only 25 calories per 125ml serving.

One evening, in a small French town, our three founders – Simon, Andrew and Gilles – sat down together at a restaurant table to discuss what might best accompany a fine meal when choosing not to drink wine. Something grown up and sophisticated they reasoned, yet complex and light. Gilles drained his cognac from the glass, added a generous measure of spring water and invited the others to drink. Although light, the mouth feel and taste of the cognac was still apparent. We had found our inspiration for Woodstar: a light, dry drink with surprising complexity and just a hint of alcohol.
