Giesen 0% Merlot

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.

Fruit Source

Premium New Zealand red wine grapes crafted into a full-strength Merlot before alcohol removal, retaining varietal depth and structure.

Colour

Medium ruby red with soft garnet hues.

Nose

Aromas of crushed blackberry and wild herbs with subtle toasted oak.

Palate

Smooth and lighter-style red showing flavours of red berries and ripe plum. Fine tannins provide gentle structure, leading to a soft, refreshing finish with subtle oak complexity.

Cellaring

Best enjoyed young to preserve its fresh fruit expression and soft, approachable tannin structure. No extended cellaring required.
