Leitz Zero Point Five Non-Alcoholic Pinot Noir NV
Rheingau, GermanyWinemaker Johannes Leitz first bottled Eins Zwei Zero back in 2007. It was prompted by Norwegian chef Odd Ivar Solvold, who needed an excellent non-alcoholic wine to match his cuisine. As a result, the Leitz lineup is aimed at a sector that desires a product made with the same grapes and passion that go into its fully fermented alcohol-based wines. In the case of the pinot noir, the colour is dark-ish, the flavours are light but in concert with a trademark juicy palate of cherry and berry. The finish is short by pinot standards, but it's a reasonable effort.Tasted: 17 December 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:CDN | $15.00 | 750ml | estimated retail in select private wine shops |
