Lime, pineapple, and crisp orchard fruit rise through a lively stream of bubbles, joined by gooseberry and fresh green herbal notes.

Sensory Description:

Pale and bright, with an aromatic profile led by pineapple, lime, and lemon citrus, followed by star fruit, gooseberry, and a subtle green herbal accent. The palate is fresh and juicy, with fine bubbles lifting the fruit and giving the wine a clean, energetic shape. Chardonnay contributes gentle breadth while Pinot Blanc keeps the profile restrained and fresh. A modest touch of richness from partial cask aging is balanced by citric acidity, carrying the wine toward a clean, lightly rounded, persistent finish.

Winemaker’s Background:

Weingut Leitz is a family estate rooted in Rüdesheim am Rhein, where Johannes Leitz took responsibility for the winery in 1985 after training as a master vintner. Under his leadership, the estate expanded from a small family holding into one of the Rheingau's established producers, while maintaining a focus on careful vineyard work, precise cellar technique, and sustainable production. Johannes now works alongside his son Antonius as the next generation, with Isabelle Eger serving as Head Winemaker. The EINS-ZWEI-ZERO range extends that wine-focused approach to dealcoholized products, beginning with carefully produced base wines and using low-temperature vacuum technology to remove alcohol while preserving aroma and freshness.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve well chilled at 6 to 8 degrees Celsius in a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass or white wine glass to emphasize its citrus freshness, aromatic fruit, and fine bubbles. Pair with oysters, shellfish, smoked salmon, light fish dishes, sushi, fresh cheeses, salads, vegetable appetizers, or serve on its own as a bright alcohol-free aperitif.
