How Does It Taste?
Expect delicate aromas of crushed blackberry and wild herbs in this dealcoholised Merlot. Crushed red berries and plum offset by toasted oak on the palate combine to give a light and refreshing option with classic structure and fine, powdery tannins on the finish.
100% guilt-free

Here's How It's Made!
We want our non-alcoholic options to give you everything you’d expect from a premium New Zealand wine. So we go through the entire winemaking process, before we gently remove the alcohol.
We create premium full-strength New Zealand Merlot, before using advanced spinning cone technology to gently remove first the aroma, and then the alcohol. We collect the delicate aroma and recombine it with the wine to maintain its distinctive nose.
This advanced form of distillation allows us to handle the wine gently, maintaining the integrity of our distinctive flavour palate and texture throughout the process.
Step One
We make a delicious, full-strength New Zealand Merlot with the distinctive flavours and aromas loved world-wide.
Step Two
We use innovative spinning cone technology to gently distill the wine into layers:
AROMA
ALCOHOL
BODY
Step Three
We carefully collect that delicate Merlot aroma and add it back into the body of the wine (minus the alcohol!)
Step Four
We add just a touch of premium grape juice to round out the final blend. There you have it! Delish.
100% shareable
One of the reasons we started making Giesen 0% is so there's truly a Giesen Wine for everybody - even if you're not drinking alcohol. So when we say this is a wine you can enjoy any time, we mean it!
Serve this no-alcohol option at your next event to enjoy a glass of wine without the after-effects.
