Our take on ANTON FREE

ANTON FREE is Weingut Matthias Anton’s nonalcoholic line from Herxheim in the Pfalz. The distinction is important: these are not grape-juice stand-ins. The winery says the base wines complete fermentation and maturation before alcohol is removed, with aroma recovery used to retain more of the original wine.

The range separates into three still wines and two sparkling bottles. Sauvignon Blanc and Grauburgunder – Pinot Grigio keep their grape names front and center; Rosé is the pink still counterpart. Blanc de Blancs Sparkling is Grauburgunder-based, while Rosé Sparkling completes the set.

The production line

The producer names gentle vacuum distillation with membrane-based aroma recovery for the still Rosé, and low-temperature vacuum evaporation with aroma recovery for Rosé Sparkling. Both sit in the vacuum-distillation method family. Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and Blanc de Blancs are confirmed as dealcoholized, but their product pages do not identify the removal equipment; those three stay Undeclared rather than inheriting a method from their siblings.

Alcohol declarations are otherwise straightforward: Sauvignon Blanc and Rosé print 0.5% ABV; both sparkling wines print below 0.5%. Pinot Grigio is the exception. The producer shop currently prints above 0.5%, the 2026 World Alcohol-Free Awards result prints below 0.5%, and a current specialist retailer prints exactly 0.5%. That unresolved conflict remains on the bottle profile instead of being edited into false certainty.

What’s in the cellar

All five wines are research profiles — production facts sourced, no Dry Standard score yet. Producer nutrition runs from 15 to 20 kcal per 100 ml, with residual sugar from 22.6 g/l in Pinot Grigio to 36.9 g/l in Rosé. The winery’s three-bottle tasting pack groups the still Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and Rosé; the sparkling pair is sold separately.
