| Verdict | Dealcoholized Riesling with apple and grape, a noticeably sweet and soft sip, a light spritz, and Riesling acidity. The finish is simple. | Rounded lemon and pear fruit, gentle sweetness and refreshing acidity, with a lingering citrus-mineral finish and a delicate saline edge. |

| Likeness | Apple, grape, and Riesling acidity read as wine. Softness and a simple exit make an easy glass, and the spritz adds a little life without making it a sparkler. | Recognizable Riesling fruit and acidity, with a mineral-saline close, give the glass a familiar varietal character. |
