About
The Fischer family have been cultivating vines in the famous village of Ockfen, on the River Saar, since 1758. The twelve-hectare holding includes a parcel of the Bockstein vineyard, which is classified as a Grosse Lage, the German equivalent of grand cru. The style is classic Saar: racy, grapefruit-scented, delicately structured yet intense. Quality has received a further boost since 2014, when Martin Foradori Hofstatter (of the eponymous Alto Adige estate) became a co-owner of the property.
Due to regional rules, neither the source of the grapes, nor the varieties used for this alcohol-free wine can be revealed, but the pedigree of the producer is testament to the quality of the fruit. Under a gentle vacuum, specially selected wine is held at low pressure in a cauldron, allowing the alcohol to be evaporated at between 25 - 30 Degrees. The low thermal stress ensures that the character, taste and fine aromas of the original wine are preserved and the remaining alcohol content is less than 0.45% by volume.
