Leitz Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Rose

Renowned winemaker, Johannes Leitz, of the Weingut Leitz in Rudesheim Germany started bottling Eins Zwei Zero back in 2007 after a request from Norwegian chef, Odd Ivar Solvold, who needed a good non-alcoholic wine to match his cuisine.

The name is play on a play on words. Eins Zwei Dry is the name of the flagship Leitz Riesling, and it sounds just like counting to three in German. Thus, the zero-proof line is counting One Two Zero. See what they did there? Gut.

The EINS-ZWEI-ZERO Sparkling Rosé offers an original character that is clean and fresh with notes of pale strawberries, raspberry and citrus; slight hints of fresh grapefruit and an underlying mineral base. The finish is dry and relatively long.
