Non-Alcoholic Chardonnay Introducing Giesen 0% Chardonnay: Fresh, Vibrant, Complex
This dealcoholised Chardonnay wine offers an elegant and refreshing alternative to traditional Chardonnay wines – without compromising on taste or quality.
We’re proud to announce we’re pushing the boundaries of our 0% range once again with our latest creation: Giesen 0% Chardonnay.
This alcohol-removed wine from New Zealand offers a sophisticated and refreshing alternative to traditional Chardonnay – without compromising on taste or quality.
The Experts Behind It All
Our latest release is the result of an expert team of passionate, award-winning winemakers who specialise in no- and low-alcohol creations. Our team takes pride in crafting 0% wines that retain the flavour and wine-like characteristics of their full-strength counterparts. They have been diligently experimenting to create a premium, great-tasting, low-calorie, dealcoholised New Zealand Chardonnay wine. As the first winery in New Zealand to own spinning cone technology, our team has the unique ability to experiment and ensure that every no-alcohol product we produce is of the highest quality.
The Quest For Great Taste
To craft Giesen 0% Chardonnay, our team carefully selected classic, cool-climate grapes from Hawke’s Bay and Waipara wine regions. The Hawke’s Bay fruit brings ripe peach, stonefruit and mealy notes to the wine, whilst Waipara adds citrus fruit and crisp acidity.
Giesen 0% Chardonnay undergoes the same process as the rest of our Giesen 0% range, starting with producing premium full-strength wine, then using our own spinning cone technology, we gently remove the alcohol.
For the base wine of our Giesen 0% Chardonnay, a portion undergoes malolactic fermentation to achieve a creamy mouthfeel and butterscotch flavours. This portion is then aged on French oak, imparting a toasty complexity, richness, and enhanced mouthfeel. The remaining portion of the base blend is aged in stainless steel, preserving purity, freshness, intense fruit flavours, and the classic New Zealand juicy acidity.
Chardonnay, as a wine style, lends itself well to dealcoholisation, because of the complex flavours from the fruit and oak. Malolactic fermentation also brings a creamy mid-palate that is often missing in no-alcohol wines.
“This is definitely Chardonnay, only without the alcohol. It is the most convincing zero alcohol Chardonnay that I have yet tasted and is good quality.” – Joelle Thomsom, WSET Level 4.
Non-alcoholic Chardonnay
Tasting Note:
“Giesen 0% Chardonnay offers a bouquet of citrus and stonefruit, with French oak influence. The fresh and zesty palate reveals creamy vanilla, leading to a long, silky smooth finish with lingering buttery, toasty notes.”
-Chief Winemaker, Duncan Shouler
Raise Your Glass To Zero Compromise
As with all of our no-alcohol wines, it was important to our team to craft a dealcoholised wine of premium quality, while staying as true-to-style as possible. For us, this means a drier style than other NA Chardonnay wines – you won’t find excessive sweetness here! We’ve opted for a fresher, vibrant, and more complex profile (rather than the juice-like taste of some others we’ve tried). With lower sugar content at 20g/l, vibrant fruit and oak driven flavours, Giesen 0% Chardonnay captures the elegance of Chardonnay wine, just without the alcohol.
Chardonnay, Reimagined
Boasting a mere 19 calories per 5 oz serving / 13 calories per 100ml / 16 calories per 125ml, Giesen 0% Chardonnay stands as one of the lowest-calorie Chardonnay wines available. With clean fruit flavours and a dry, refreshing crispness, Giesen 0% Chardonnay is the perfect choice to match with food and enjoy with friends and family, minus the alcohol content. This delicious addition marks the seventh varietal in our award-winning Giesen 0% wine range, joining the esteemed company of Sparkling Brut, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris/Grigio, Riesling, Rosé and Merlot/Premium Red.
