About: The family is serious about what they do, making wines with care and craftsmanship – it’s not an estate run by amateurs. This wine is gently dealcoholized yet remains true to the category in a contemporary, but not “modern”; it has soul and character. 

Pairing Ideas: The Leitz EINS-ZWEI-ZERO Sparkling Rosé is a refreshing sparkler that exudes cool, red fruits and lean minerality. With its invigorating perlage it instantly brings upon that summer feeling. In addition to the notes of rose hips and sky berries, often present in rosé, this rosé variation conveys a remarkable freshness giving it incredible versatility - a pleasant aperitif, as a spritz mixer, or simply as a constant companion to enjoy relaxing evenings. As we all know, like fat, alcohol is a transporter of flavor; without it, there needs to be something else to carry those flavors. Of course, an alcohol-free wine will never give the same depth, structure, and weight as a wine with alcohol, but this is extremely close to it, and it is simply an alcohol-free wine. Impressive.
