Giesen 0% Merlot is an alcohol-removed wine that everyone can enjoy, no matter the occasion.

Made from premium, full-strength New Zealand wine, Giesen 0% keeps all the best qualities of Giesen Estate Merlot. It’s aromatically expressive, with the varietal characteristics you know and love… only with the alcohol gently removed.

Expect delicate aromas of crushed blackberry and wild herbs in this alcohol-removed Merlot. Crushed red berries and plum offset by toasted oak on the palate combine to give a light and refreshing option with classic structure and fine, powdery tannins on the finish.

It’s the structure and fine tannin in this wine that makes it a great choice with food – try it with red meats or tapas. Or because of the wonderful lightness, it’s a refreshing wine choice for sunny afternoons.

The start is to create premium, full-strength Merlot wine, fruit from Hawke's Bay. Then use innovative spinning cone technology to gently distil the wine into three layers: aroma, alcohol, and the body of the wine.

The delicate aromas are collected and recombined with the body of the wine, adding just a touch of premium grape juice to produce the final blend: a refreshing, delicious 0% Merlot wine with low calories. 

And the added bonus…there are only 23 calories per 125ml serving (or 18 calories per 100ml glass) – 70% less calories than a full strength 12.5% alcohol/volume wine!
