Key ingredients: Dealcoholized Riesling wine (Rheingau, Germany), grape must, natural flavors. Contains sulfites.
Good to know: <0.5% ABV. Made by Weingut Leitz in Germany's Rheingau region under the direction of Johannes Leitz — one of Germany's finest producers. Wines are fermented full-strength from Rheingau grapes, then dealcoholized. Contains sulfites.
How to enjoy: Serve well-chilled (42-46°F) in a white wine glass. Pairs extraordinarily well with spicy food — Thai, Szechuan, Indian — and with fresh seafood.
Swizzle's Take: This is our most fine-dining AF wine — Eleven Madison Park pours it, and you'll understand why when you taste it against the cheaper dealcoholizations.
