Description
The Leitz EINS-ZWEI-ZERO sparkling offers an original character that is clean and fresh with notes of lime and citrus; surprisingly rhubarb and a little hint of red apples on an underlying mineral base. The finish is dry and relatively long. Of course, an alcohol-free sparkling wine never will give the same depth, structure and weight as a wine with alcohol, but this is extremely close to it and it is simply an alcohol-free wine tasting wine. Impressive. Cheers!

Viticulture
The vineyard is located in the middle of Rheinhessen. The vines are trellised with the Guyot sytem and the canopy management is Leitz's own structure. Sustainable farming practice is employed including leaf removal.
Vinification
To remove the alcohol from the wine, a gentle vacuum distillation has been used in order to preserve the natural Riesling flavours. This modern technique has been chosen because it allows us to extract the alcohol under extremely low pressure and temperature (around 30°C). No flavours will be lost through the treatment of the wine through the dealcoholisation process.
