A Pinot Noir when the aroma and a long savory finish matter more than…
A Chardonnay when you want citrus, a buttery middle, and a saline edge.
Our take on Oceano Zero
Oceano Zero is the alcohol-removed line from Oceano Wines on California’s San Luis Obispo Coast. The 2024 vintage was dealcoholized with Centec DeAlcoTec vacuum distillation paired with the Solos Aroma Recovery System (ARS) — named by founder and CEO Rachel Martin in correspondence with this publication on 11 October 2026, and corroborated on Oceano’s public vintage materials for Solos. Product pages often omit the equipment; the cellar records both machines when sourced.
That pairing is the forward edge of the set: a named stripping still plus adsorption aroma return, not a generic “alcohol removed” line.
What holds up
Gap’s Crown Pinot Noir (91) is the peak so far — Petaluma Gap fruit, dark red structure, tannin that keeps going. The Spanish Springs Pinot Noir (89) is juicier and thinner in the middle, with a smoky savory close. Chardonnay (88) stays dry and light: citrus, a soft buttery mid-palate, saline edge.
