Pure luxury, an alcohol-free wine like this one from Chile. Crafted by the Sinzero winery from only Chardonnay grapes, it's one of the world's first full-bodied and creamy alcohol-free wines. Sinzero boasts some of the finest vineyards in the Maipo Valley, where the climate is perfect for Chardonnay grapes. The warm summer afternoons, combined with the wind from the Andes Mountains, give the harvest abundant richness and finesse. Because wine has been grown on these soils for hundreds of years, the soil is a treasure trove for the Chardonnay vines. The plants draw abundant nutrients from the rich soil, allowing for a full and ripe harvest. The perfect starting point for a top-notch alcohol-free white wine.
Completely hand-harvested for this Sinzero Chardonnay
Timing the start of the harvest is precision work, but leave that to Sinzero's winemaker. He harvests the grapes entirely by hand at ideal ripeness. Each bunch is inspected and gathered early in the morning. This ensures a very pure harvest, giving this alcohol-free wine a unique and smooth character. Once all the bunches are harvested, they are gently pressed and aged for several months in Sinzero's cellars.
The aroma and taste of the Sinzero Chardonnay
Using a unique "spinning one-column" technique, the alcohol is removed from the wine without losing any flavor or aroma. This makes it a truly top-notch alcohol-free wine. Upon pouring, we see a wonderful Chardonnay color, deep golden yellow with a light honey-like sheen. It has a rich aroma, bringing to mind notes of tropical fruit, peaches, and some citrus. The palate is full-bodied and ripe, with abundant yellow fruit, including peach and mango. The lovely light acidity adds a special touch to this Sinzero Chardonnay, making it a truly top-notch alcohol-free white wine.
Maximum 0.5% Alcohol
An alcohol-free wine may contain a maximum of 0.5% alcohol. This is also the legal designation for a wine from which the alcohol has been extracted. This alcohol-free wine was once wine containing alcohol from which the alcohol has been extracted. This technique is also called reverse osmosis or vacuum technology. This allows a minimal trace of alcohol to remain in the bottle. Therefore, a maximum label of 0.5% is mandatory. Many foods you wouldn't suspect contain alcohol. For example, apple juice can contain 0.5% alcohol, and overripe bananas can also contain alcohol.
