Leitz Eins Zwei Zero Riesling

Non-Alcoholic. This is what remained after the alcohol was distilled out by a vacuum still @ 23C. In the nose this smells like a classic Riesling with just a little nut, petrol, and a tropical fruit edge. The palate is light and zingy with flavors that feel like crunchy tropical fruits and lime zest. D&M Tasting Notes

Germany.  It isn’t wine, so it’s hard to use wine terminology to describe it, but it does have wine-like aromas: orange citrus, rhubarb and tarragon.  

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. As we all know, like fat, alcohol is a transporter of flavor, and without it, there needs to be something else to carry those flavors. 35 grams/L does the work for this riesling, though the sugar is nearly eaten up.
