Giesen 0% Merlot

Giesen 0% Merlot begins with premium, full-strength New Zealand red wine crafted to retain varietal depth and structure. Delicate aromas of crushed blackberry and wild herbs lead into a palate of red berries and ripe plum, balanced by subtle toasted oak. Fine, powdery tannins provide gentle structure, finishing smooth and refreshing. A lighter style red that still feels complete in the glass.

Wine Making

We start by crafting premium, full-strength New Zealand red wine. Using innovative spinning cone technology, the wine is gently separated into aroma, alcohol and body.

The delicate aromatics are carefully recombined with the body of the wine, with a small addition of premium grape juice concentrate to achieve balance and texture. The result is a refreshing, delicious alcohol-removed Merlot with low calories and classic varietal character.

Reviews
Jonathan Lambriandas Tipple Zero

"The Giesen 0% Merlot scores an 8.4/10 with its warm, toasty oak filled & round profile that is built around sophisticated spice, dark blackberries, plum & a long tannin led finish that completes the mouthfeel well. An inside tip is that this really opens up after being aired in your glass or on the second day after opening."
