The wine
The texture is gently rounded, but the overall impression stays dry. This Verdejo carries a subtle sweetness alongside its melon flavor, with fresh acidity giving the sip a mouthwatering edge. Its light body keeps the roundness gentle. Sweetness, texture and acidity complement one another, making a satisfying glass that feels complete without needing more weight.
Fresh fruit is noticeable in the aroma, though restrained in intensity, bringing peach or melon to mind. Light straw yellow in the glass, the wine has a quiet aromatic presence that fits its gently rounded palate. The clearer melon flavor arrives in the sip, where the subtle sweetness supports the fruit while the overall dry impression holds. That combination gives it an appealing balance: rounded enough to feel satisfying, with acidity that remains fresh and noticeable.
After swallowing, melon continues alongside the mouthwatering sensation. The finish gives the wine staying power, carrying both fruit and acidity beyond the sip. This is an especially enjoyable dealcoholized Verdejo for the way its parts work together. Gentle sweetness, rounded texture and fresh acidity make a coherent whole, and the lingering melon finish invites another sip.

Research notes
The physical 2023 bottle declares alcohol-removed white wine below 0.5% ABV and lists dealcoholized wine as its first ingredient. Kolonne Null's producer-issued 2023 e-label identifies the grape as Verdejo and the wine origin as Spain. The physical US label states Product of Germany; both declarations are retained in the evidence record. The producer's current range-level FAQ documents fermentation followed by vacuum distillation and rectified grape-must back-addition. This is a range-level process statement, not an exact-batch specification for the tasted bottle. Standard must back-addition after removal keeps the classification Dealcoholized.

Where sources disagree
Sources disagree on the following points.
- Country: The physical 2023 bottle states Product of Germany. The producer-issued 2023 e-label identifies Spain as the country of origin. The physical bottle declaration is retained in the country field; Spain is retained as the sourced base-wine origin. No undocumented explanation of the two origin declarations is inferred.
- Calories: The physical bottle declares 57 calories per 375 ml. The producer-issued 2023 e-label declares 14 kcal per 100 ml. These figures do not exactly agree after serving-size conversion; the tasted bottle declaration is retained without inferring a formulation change.
- Sugar: The physical bottle declares 11 g total sugars per 375 ml, all labeled added sugars. The producer-issued 2023 e-label lists 2.6 g sugars per 100 ml and separately 29 g/l residual sugar. These figures are retained as distinct source claims; no resolved value or formulation history is invented.
- Ingredients: The physical bottle lists dealcoholized wine, rectified concentrated grape must, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. The producer-issued 2023 e-label lists grapes, concentrated grape must, carbon dioxide, sulfites and dimethyl dicarbonate (E 242). The physical label declaration is retained for the tasted bottle; omission of E 242 from that panel is not treated as proof of its absence.
