Giesen 0% Alcohol Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc NV

Description

Dry, Lime, Passionfruit, Tropical

"The alcohol present in this wine when i was made has been removed. Aromas and flavours continue the story of this variety’s unabated perfumes of tropical fruits, apple and citrus, fresh herbs and white spices. The palate has fruit and contrasting acidity for texture, classic flavours and a balanced finish" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jul 2021

This alcohol-removed wine offers delicate aromas of fresh lime, redcurrant and lemon shortbread. Delicious citrus flavours followed by distinct blackcurrant and passionfruit notes define this premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The wine finishes crisp and dry, with a mouth-watering juicy brightness that leaves you reaching for a second sip. You’ll find it light, fresh, and invigorating - perfect for enjoying at home, out with friends and family, or any time you’d prefer a glass of wine without the after-effects.

Fruit is chosen from these two renowned Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc regions to create an intense, expressive base wine.

This wine was crafted to provide an alcohol-removed option that still exhibits typical Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc characteristics. Giesen create premium, full-strength Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, before using advanced spinning cone technology to gently remove first the aroma, and then the alcohol. The delicate aroma is collected and recombined with the wine to maintain its distinctive nose. The final blend retains weight and mouthfeel with a small amount of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc grape juice and natural yeast proteins to build texture, without adding sugar. This results in a dry, refreshing style of non-alcholic wine with low calories.

Aside from the benefits of no hangover, no dubious dance moves, and no impaired judgement (well, no more than usual!), you’ll also notice Giesen 0% has super low calories. At 10.6 calories per 125ml serve, a glass of Giesen 0% has 85% less calories per serve than a traditional 12.5% alc/vol Sauvignon Blanc, and 45% fewer grams of sugar per serving than it’s closest non-alcoholic wine alternative. How’s that for a bonus?! When Giesen say O%, we’re not kidding. Giesen O% wines contain not more than 0.5% alcohol/volume - less than what naturally occurs in most fruit juices. You’re no more likely to feel woozy with one of these in your hand than you are with an orange juice. See for yourself!
