Our take on Giesen
Giesen’s 0% wines start as New Zealand wine, then lose alcohol through spinning-cone technology. The three bottles tasted here all score 85 or higher: recognizable grape, light frames, finishes that are honest about what ethanol used to carry.
What holds up
0% Riesling leads — lime, citrus blossom, mandarin on an off-dry line. 0% Rosé keeps white peach and cranberry without sliding into soda. 0% Sauvignon Blanc still shows Marlborough grass and passionfruit pith, then a short citrus close.
