<\/p>\nThe arrival of spring heralds the start of family get-togethers, barbecues with friends and impromptu picnics. Naturally, it\u2019s at these occasions that a bottle of something cold and crisp is shared, but why not add some alcohol-free options to your repertoire?<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re working on a health goal, have a big meeting the next day or you\u2019re the designated driver, there\u2019s no reason to feel left out \u2014 there are now plenty of no- and low-alcohol alternatives. Giesen Wines 0% range is full of flavour and choice. The brand\u2019s sell-out 0% Sauvignon Blanc has been joined by a Ros\u00e9, Pinot Gris and Merlot, so there is something for everyone\u2019s
\ntastes. A Riesling will also be added to the range this spring.<\/p>\n
Not all alcohol-free wines are created equal, so it\u2019s worth seeking out the top drops available. Giesen makes its 0% wine range just like its regular full-strength New Zealand wine. The fruit is sourced from exceptional vineyards around Marlborough, Hawke\u2019s Bay and Waipara. The wine then goes through an additional process to gently remove the alcohol using an innovative spinning cone technology \u2014 the same process used in perfume and coffee. The winemaking team adds back in the aroma to give a distinctive taste and flavour. The result is 0% wine that actually tastes like wine (not grape juice!) and it\u2019s also up to
\n70 to 80 per cent lower in calories than a regular 12.5 per cent alc\/vol wine.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere has been huge consumer demand for non-alcoholic wine options. But, before we ventured into the category, we wanted to ensure that we could produce a wine that was as good as the rest of the Giesen premium wine range,\u201d says Giesen Group winemaker, Duncan Shouler. \u201cWe take the category seriously, using some of our finest fruit from New Zealand and putting in place a designated wine-making team to make these wines. We\u2019ve invested more than $1 million just to have the technology on site to make these wines, and we\u2019re overwhelmed with the positive feedback. Having our own technology allows us to be experimental and continually improve our 0% alcohol wine offering. I would say that we are seeing better and better alcohol-removed wines every time we produce them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not only are the wine releases selling out quickly, they are also winning accolades on a global scale. At the 2022 International Wine Challenge in the United Kingdom the Giesen 0% Sauvignon Blanc, Ros\u00e9, Riesling and Pinot Gris were all 2022 Commendation winners. The Giesen Group was also awarded the Trophy for Best Winemaker at the 2022 WinePilot Zero Alcohol Wine Show in Sydney.<\/p>\n
Wondering what to try first? The Sauvignon Blanc is a crowd favourite. Delicate aromas of fresh lime, redcurrant and lemon shortbread meet delicious citrus flavours with distinct blackcurrant and passionfruit notes. Followed by a crisp, dry finish, it\u2019s mouth wateringly juicy and bright \u2014 a light, fresh, and invigorating non-alcoholic wine.<\/p>\n
You can also use these alcohol-removed wines to create delicious cocktails \u2014 ideal for baby showers, celebrations or the many other occasions when an alcohol-free option is preferred. We can cheers to that!<\/p>\n
