Description

DR. LO DR. LO RIESLING SPARKLING NON-ALCOHOLIC A non-alcoholic Riesling sparkling wine for those who don’t want to compromise on the DR. LO Sparkling Riesling style. Just because you’re drinking something without alcohol doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice flavor or quality. That’s precisely what the DR. LO Sparkling Riesling aims to show: that a non‑alcoholic wine can be incredible, versatile, and of uncompromised quality. DR. LO is also about staying true to oneself while still enjoying a glass of sparkling wine. Choosing a non‑alcoholic option shouldn’t mean drinking something inferior. The DR. LO Process To create one of the best non‑alcoholic sparkling Rieslings, we considered everything from the start. Before beginning the alcohol removal process, we selected a Mosel Riesling vintage that was naturally low in alcohol, carried only the grape’s natural sweetness (without added sugar), and had a fresh acidity to balance it. This base wine then underwent a state‑of‑the‑art alcohol‑removal process. The main advantage of the DR. LO Sparkling Riesling is that it already had little alcohol from the outset, preserving the grape’s natural sweetness that hadn’t fully fermented. Thus, instead of adding grape must after alcohol removal, we already had the natural sweetness from the start. Add bubbles to this, and the result is something truly special. When to drink DR. LO Sparkling Riesling? The DR. LO Sparkling Riesling is the perfect non‑alcoholic alternative to pair with meals, especially saltier dishes, or to serve blind‑tasting to friends to see if they notice the difference. Technical Details: Base wine production: Made 100% in stainless steel; during fermentation the tank was cooled to stop the process earlier and preserve the grape’s natural sugar. Alcohol removal process: Vacuum distillation. Gas pressure: approximately 4.5–5 bar. Wine style: Fruity, fresh, and balanced. Press reviews: “Live bubbles transport summery notes of pineapple and mango, accompanied by a citrusy touch of lime. The palate is creamy, effervescent, full of tropical flavors and a lightness that feels almost ethereal. It feels like a true summer party in a glass, with refined delicacy. The finish is off‑dry, balanced by the usual freshness of Riesling…” – Anne Krebiehl MW, January 2022, Falstaff International, 2019 vintage Awards 88/100 – Falstaff International (2019 vintage)
