Giesen 0% Sauvignon Blanc begins as a full-strength wine from Marlborough and Waipara vineyards. Once fermented and aged, spinning cone technology extracts the aromas first, then removes the alcohol, before the collected aromas are recombined with the dealcoholised wine body. The process is designed to preserve what makes Sauvignon Blanc recognisable, and at 13 calories per 100ml it achieves this without the weight of the original. The nose shows fresh lime, redcurrant, and a faint lemon shortbread note. The palate follows with bright citrus, blackcurrant, and passionfruit, carried by natural acidity throughout. The finish is crisp and dry, with no residual sweetness to soften the landing. The varietal character comes through clearly. Sauvignon Blanc is one of the varieties that tends to hold up better through dealcoholisation, and the aromatic lift here is noticeably better than cheaper alternatives in the category.
