About: The family is serious about what they do, making wines with care and craftsmanship – it’s not an estate run by amateurs. This wine is gently dealcoholized yet remains true to the category in a contemporary, but not “modern”; it has soul and character. 

Pairing Ideas: The Leitz EINS-ZWEI-ZERO Sparkling Blanc de Blancs offers an appealing character that is clean, juicy, and very fresh with notes of lime and citrus, with subtle hints of gooseberry and carambola that are easy to detect—accompanied by an underlying mineral base. The finish is dry and has a relatively long aftertaste. As we all know, like fat, alcohol is a transporter of flavor; without it, there needs to be something else to carry those flavors. Of course, an alcohol-free wine will never give the same depth, structure, and weight as a wine with alcohol, but this is extremely close to it, and it is simply an alcohol-free wine. Impressive.
