Domaine E de M Sparkling Rosé alcohol free 'N.0 ROSAE'

Domaine E de M N.0 ROSÆ is a completely alcohol-free sparkling rosé from Castilla-La Mancha, made from 100% Airén. After pressing, the grapes are fermented at a low temperature to preserve as much freshness and aroma as possible. The alcohol is then removed through low-temperature vacuum distillation. Subsequently, the wine undergoes a natural infusion of rose petals, which enhances its floral character, after which it is bottled while retaining its fine mousse.

Domaine E de M is a special project by the Catena family. It arose from Elena Maza, Nicolás Catena's wife, who desired a lighter alternative to traditional wine without losing the sophistication of a good aperitif. Laura Catena enlisted the Catena Institute of Wine for this purpose. Under the guidance of oenologist Agustín Silva, they work with sensory analyses, wine chemistry, and tasting panels to develop alcohol-free wines that retain as much true wine structure as possible.

In the glass, the N.0 ROSÆ is light salmon pink with a refined mousse. The profile is fresh and distinctly aromatic, with notes of rose petals, pear, and citrus, followed by melon and a slightly herbaceous, floral finish. The subtle bitterness and fresh acidity ensure that the wine does not come across as simply sweet or like lemonade. 

Serve well chilled, around 6–8 °C. It works excellently as an alcohol-free aperitif but also pairs well with light snacks, salads, crustaceans and shellfish, soft cheeses, or dishes with fresh fruit and subtle herbs.
