Néphalia, an alcohol-free wine embracing the heritage of wine

In the fast-growing no/low market, Castel Frères sought to create a brand that could embrace alcohol-free without stepping outside the world of wine. With Néphalia, Lonsdale crafts a poised, desirable proposition designed to travel without losing its elegance.

Born from the Greek nêphàlios (“pure, unmixed with wine”), Néphalia stands for intensity under control. Its name—warm and almost first-name familiar—conjures nobility, conviviality, and authenticity: a positive choice, never a compromise.

A pared-back, mineral identity comes to life through a stone-textured label, a clear pictorial grape mark, and a refined palette. The claim “Can you tell the difference?” invites a tasting game between modernity and heritage. Packaging clarifies the read (grape varieties, occasions, oenological cues) and adapts from retail to on-trade, from the Netherlands to the U.S., all the way to Japan and China.

More than a launch, Néphalia sets a stance: measured pleasure, accessible elegance, wine codes preserved—a true end-to-end creation, from naming to communication.
