Dr Loosen Sparkling Riesling Alcohol-Free NV
About
Just because you are drinking something alcohol-free doesn’t mean you
have to sacrifice taste or quality. That is basically what DR. LO Sparkling
Riesling is about, to show that alcohol-free wine can also be amazing and
versatile and uncompromising in quality. DR. LO is also about staying
yourself but still being able to enjoy a glass of bubbly, but you should not
have to drink something sub-standard even though you choose an alcohol free option.
To craft one of the finest alcohol-free Sparkling Riesling wines you can find, it was given very careful thought from the beginning. Before the process of
removing the alcohol began, they started with a vintage Mosel Riesling that
was already LO in alcohol, had only the natural sweetness of the grape
without any added sugar and had crisp acidity to give it balance. This base
wine underwent a state-of-the-art alcohol removal process, but the great
thing about DR. LO Sparkling Riesling is that it already had LO alcohol to
begin with so there was the natural sweetness of the grape that had not
been fermented out, so instead of adding some grape must for sweetness
back to the wine after the alcohol removal process, it already had the
natural sweetness in the beginning. Add some bubbles to that and you
have something really special.
Vinication of the base wine: Produced in 100 % stainless steel, during
fermentation the tank was chilled to help stop the fermentation process
early and preserve the natural sugar

- Tasting Notes:
DR. LO Sparkling Riesling Alcohol-Free has just the right amount of fruitiness to balance the crisp acidity. On the palate it is clearly Riesling, but it walks the line between a fruity and drier style. The characteristic acidity of Mosel Riesling helps it finish fresh and clean. If shown blind it may not be recognized as alcohol-free
