About: This non-alcoholic wine is refreshing, crisp, and very easy to drink while maintaining the complexity that the wines from Selbach are known for. This is Johannes Selbach's answer to the non-alcoholic wine category - Funkelwürtz translates to "Spicy Sparkler" which is how Johannes told me that the wine tasted the first time he tried it. This is a slightly effervescent and aromatic wine from grapes grown in the Mosel.  Fermented to around 30g/L of residual sugar, then the wine is finished at a facility that uses membrane technology to remove alcohol. This NA wine is refreshing, crisp, and very easy to drink while maintaining the complexity that the wines from Selbach are known for.
