Leitz Weingut Eins Zwei Zero Sparkling Rosé Non-Alcoholic Wine 75 cl

Where Eins Zwei Zero Riesling sticks to white grapes, the house's Sparkling Rose takes a different path with a blend of red grape varieties - proof that Weingut Leitz's alcohol-free ambitions extend beyond the Riesling the estate is otherwise best known for.

Expert's Description

Leitz Eins Zwei Zero Sparkling Rose is a German Sparkling Rose Wine from Rheingau, Germany, made from Merlot, Pinot Noir and Blauer Portugieser with an alcohol content of 0%. Like the rest of the house's Eins Zwei Zero range, the wine is made by first fermenting the grapes into a regular rose wine, after which the alcohol is gently removed through a vacuum process. The blend of three red grape varieties gives a fruity, sweet profile that sets it apart from the house's pure Riesling editions.
