There is rarely much to celebrate a party with if everyone has to stay sober - Altes Schlosschen's Sparkling Blanc is made for exactly those occasions where you want the bubbles without the aftermath.

Expert's Description

Altes Schlosschen Sparkling Blanc Alkoholfri is an Alcohol-Free Sparkling Wine from Germany made from a blend of white grapes, including Kerner and Muscat, with an alcohol content of 0%.

Turm-Zero is Altes Schlosschen's answer to the still white wine without the percentages - a wine that does not try to be anything other than itself, just without the alcohol.

Expert's Description

Altes Schlosschen Turm-Zero is an Alcohol-Free White Wine from Germany made from Kerner and Muscat with an alcohol content of under 0.5%. The wine is made by first fermenting the grapes into a regular white wine, after which the alcohol is gently removed to best preserve the grapes' natural aroma and character. The Kerner grape, a cross between Trollinger and Riesling developed in 1929, combined with the aromatic Muscat grape, together give a wine with clear fruitiness and a light, mineral undertone.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh notes of citrus, pear and green apples on the nose.

Palate

Light and fruity on the palate with a gentle acidity and a touch of minerality.

Finish

The finish is crisp, clean and pleasant, with a fresh close.

Arensbak Rosé isn't made from grapes, but from tea - an over 2,000-year-old Chinese fermentation method turned into a Danish, alcohol-free gourmet drink with a wine-like structure.

Expert's Description

Arensbak Rosé Alkoholfri is an Alcohol-Free Rosé Wine from Denmark with an alcohol content of 0.0%.

The drink is based on fermented tea, kombucha, which undergoes multiple fermentations and is infused with selected ingredients and spices to build a wine-like flavour profile of fruit, acidity, tannin and body. The spices provide the structure and depth normally derived from alcohol, creating a long, harmonious finish. Arensbak contains only a third of the calories of ordinary wine.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Wine-like aromas with a hint of red berries.

Palate

Fruit, acidity and a light tannic sensation create a surprisingly full flavour.

Weinbergpfirsich - vineyard peach - is an old German fruit variety that has grown alongside vines for centuries. Justen Kiebel uses it to give their alcohol-free Secco a touch of peach that lifts it above the ordinary.

Expert's Description

Justen Kiebel Secco Alkoholfri is an Alcohol-Free Rose Wine from Germany with natural aromas of vineyard peach and an alcohol content of 0%. The Secco is a sparkling style, where the carbonation is typically added or achieved through light fermentation before the wine is gently de-alcoholised to preserve as much of the fruit character as possible. Weinbergpfirsich is an aromatic peach variety traditionally grown in German wine regions as an ornamental and aromatic plant between the rows of vines, and the name has become a fixed part of German Secco tradition.

Nose

Ripe peach and an inviting sweetness on the nose.

Palate

Crisp acidity combined with fruity sweetness and a fine, sparkling mousse.

Finish

The finish is short to medium, fresh and fruity.
