Leitz 'Eins Zwei Zero' Sparkling Alcohol Free Rose Germany - 250mL Can
*Non-Alcoholic* - Zero Alcohol!
Sold as a case of 24
Winemaker Notes:
This 250mL can of non-alcoholic, sparkling pinot noir rosé is the same expression as the bottled version. The CO2 really balances out the residual sugar, making it appear drier than it it is. Because of that, it's even more wine-like! This refreshing sparkler exudes cool, red fruits and lean minerality. An incredibly refreshing single serving; or, a convenient, light cocktail mixer.
Germany has been producing non-alcoholic wines for a good 70 years. Innovations have improved the quality of these wines by lowering the needed temperature to remove the alcohol. This has created a wine that is non-alcoholic, fresh and remarkably delicious.
Leitz’s hometown of Rüdesheim is the historic birthplace of the famous distillery Asbach Uralt. After the war, a fellow vigneron named Carl Jung began a distillery. Ultimately, Jung could not compete with the local brandy, but he developed a vacuum distillation system which enabled him to lower the temperature at which alcohol could boil off (because the boiling point becomes lower as atmospheric pressure decreases). Innovations in vacuum distillation have improved in recent years, and Leitz found a producer in Rheinhessen who recently patented a new, completely closed system that allows wine alcohol to boil at 28°C, preserving “wine-like” aromas and characteristics.
