Riesling Alkoholfrei 2024

Wine Description for Riesling 2024 from Haardt Hills

Colour & Appearance

Pale, sparkling golden yellow with distinct green reflections – a youthful, vibrant wine that signals its freshness in the glass.

Nose

Clear and straightforward, this Riesling presents aromas of lemon and green apple. The stony, almost mineral notes lend the bouquet a cool elegance and underscore the wine’s lean, unpretentious character.

Palate

On the palate, the 2024 vintage shows taut and acid-driven – a Riesling that places clarity before opulence. The dry orientation is carried by a lively acidity structure that gives the wine tension and drinkability. Fruitiness and a subtle creamy texture perfectly balance the freshness.

Finish

Medium-length, clean finish with persistent citrus notes and a refreshing, mineral aftertaste.

Terroir & Origin

Hailing from the Pfalz, this Riesling benefits from one of Germany’s warmest wine-growing regions. The stony notes in the wine suggest calcareous or weathered soils that lend the Riesling its characteristic minerality.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure varietal Riesling with an unusually low alcohol content of just 0.5% Vol. – an alcohol-free or near alcohol-free wine that proves Riesling can retain its varietal character even without alcohol. The vinification focuses on freshness and fruitiness.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Ideal companion to light salads with lemon dressing, grilled sea bass, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, goat’s cheese or sushi. The low alcohol content also makes it perfect for lunchtime or as a refreshing aperitif.

Special Features

At just 0.5% alcohol, this Riesling is a remarkable alternative for mindful connoisseurs who wish to forgo alcohol without sacrificing authentic Riesling character. A wine that transcends category boundaries and sets new standards.
