Bright State debuted a new line of low-alcohol wines made with vitamins, botanicals and herbs. 

Blending old-world attention to quality with new-world innovation, Bright State wines are crafted with California grapes in Napa by Max Franks and his Winemaker Alec McTaggart, a fourth-generation great-grandson of Sonoma icon Samuele Sebastiani, the company notes.

“As with everything we make, quality must come first. With Bright State, we wanted to honor the integrity of California wine while thoughtfully incorporating ingredients that have long played a role in wellness and culinary traditions,” Franks said in a statement. “The result is an entirely new way to enjoy wine, made for modern, ingredient-conscious people who still expect a great tasting experience in every glass."

The debut varietals feature the following releases:

FOCUS – Chardonnay crafted with pear, ginseng and ginger: a lively, aromatic blend that opens with crisp pear notes. Subtle ginseng and a lift of fresh ginger add dimension, creating a profile that feels zesty, polished and effortlessly modern.

RADIANCE – Sauvignon Blanc crafted with dandelion and gooseberry: bright and crisp, this wine delivers tart gooseberry and citrusy Sauvignon Blanc freshness. Light botanical notes from dandelion lend a floral edge, creating a profile that’s clean, vivid and refreshing.

 RESILIENCE – Pinot Grigio crafted with saffron and citrus: a light, easygoing blend with crisp citrus and the clean minerality of Pinot Grigio. Gentle, earthy spice notes from saffron add subtle texture, resulting in a modern.

CALM – Pinot Noir crafted with beetroot and plum: smooth and inviting, this blend layers juicy plum with the soft, rounded character of Pinot Noir. Beetroot brings an earthy depth, giving the wine a warm, dusky richness.

UNWIND – Cabernet Sauvignon crafted with turmeric and acai: bold yet balanced, this wine bursts with ripe, açaí fruit flavors. Grounding notes of turmeric add intrigue, shaping a flavor profile that is lush and expressive.

Each varietal is 6.9% ABV and under 90 calories in each serving, the company notes.
