Amie starts as a fully fermented dry wine before the alcohol gets pulled out through reverse osmosis, a cold process that works without heat and so keeps the fruit aromas largely intact. The result is 0.5% ABV with low residual sugar, which is rarer than you might think in alcohol-free sparkling wine. It pours pale salmon pink with fine, persistent bubbles. Strawberry and raspberry come through on the nose with a light floral note behind them. The palate is dry and crisp rather than sweet, and the fruit holds its shape rather than collapsing into a jammy mess. There's a clean citrus note on the finish that stops it from feeling flat. The dryness is the main thing here. A lot of AF sparkling wines compensate for missing alcohol with residual sugar, which gives them a cloying quality that doesn't work as an aperitif. This one doesn't do that.
