Different styles within alcohol-free white

Alcohol-free white wine made from grapes

- fresh acids
- light structure
- pure fruit
- often slightly sweet
-
a mature mouthfeel
Tea extractions and infusions as an alternative
Within the alcohol-free white section, Perfecte Wijn also offers tea extractions and infusions , such as those from Van Nahmen or Saicho . These aren't wines, but gastronomic beverages made with tea, water, and botanicals, developed with the same precision as wine.
These drinks are often chosen because:
- complexity without alcohol
- dry, gastronomic style
- deployability at the table
- clear origin of ingredients
They complete the alcohol-free range without pretending to be wine.
Grapes and flavor direction

The style varies from tight and fresh to slightly rounder and softer, depending on grape and producer.
