Zeronimo Grüner Veltliner is an alcohol-free white wine from the Heribert Bayer family winery in Burgenland, Austria. Crafted from traditional Grüner Veltliner, it undergoes a specialised dealcoholisation process to provide a sophisticated alternative for those seeking the characteristics of Austrian white wine without the alcohol.
Tasting Profile & Characteristics
This alcohol-free Grüner Veltliner reflects the varietal's classic profile, with adjustments resulting from the dealcoholisation process.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Lighter-bodied and crisper than its alcoholic counterpart, it retains the mineral-driven character and aromatic complexity of a classic Grüner Veltliner for a refreshing palate.
Sweetness Level: A dry white wine structured around acidity and minerality, with a residual sugar content of 4.5g per 100ml.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of crisp green apple, grapefruit, and lime lead to the varietal's hallmark zesty white pepper finish, with undertones of fresh herbs and stone fruit.
Serving & Food Pairing Recommendations
