Tasting note
Impressively tasty alcohol-free Riesling, with flavours of citrus and rhubarb and an aromatic, overarching squirt of lime.
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, a gentle vacuum distillation was used to preserve the natural Riesling flavours. Leitz chose this modern technique, because it allows the extraction of 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.
Food Match
Recommended to pair with gratinated crostini, cauliflower and goat’s cheese as well as with an Asian chicken casserole.
