Leitz Zero Point Five Pinot Noir

An (almost) real red wine experience without the alcohol. Intense red berry fruit rises from the glass and offers juicy cherry aromas on the palate. A very harmonious red wine alternative with nuances of currants that does not immediately reveal that 99.5% the alcohol is missing!

Winemaking dates back to 1744 for the Leitz family in Rüdesheim, Germany. After a bomb destroyed their winery during the Second World War, Josef Leitz was forced to rebuild the small business to support his family. After some years, his grandson Johannes Leitz would eventually take over and build it into the conscious empire we see today, including a full-fledged alcohol-free collection aptly named, Eins Zwei Zero.

Winemaking: Made with the same grapes and care that go into the Leitz award-winning “regular” Rieslings and Pinot Noirs, the fully fermented wines then are gently de-alcoholised through a low temperature vacuum distillation process. The low temperatures mean that the alcohol can be removed without losing the important natural aromas and remarkable properties of the terroir.
