NV Dr LO Riesling Zero Alc 750ml

100% Mosel Riesling produced in stainless steel tanks. During fermentation the tank was chilled to help stop the fermentation process early and preserve the natural sugar. The alcohol was then removed during a vacuum distillation.

To craft one of the finest alcohol-removed Riesling wines you can find we gave it very careful thought from the beginning. Before the process of removing the alcohol began, we 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 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, we already had the natural sweetness in the beginning. DR. LO Riesling 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-removed. – Dr Lo
