Production of Chardonnay alcohol-free - A. Diehl

The grapes for this Chardonnay come from carefully selected vineyards in the Palatinate. The mild, sun-drenched climate, with warm days and cool nights, encourages slow and even ripening. This results in grapes with intense aromatics and a fine acid structure. The soils range from loess and loam to sandy and limestone-rich sections, giving the wine an expressive, mineral character.

The grapes are harvested selectively, with fruit at the optimum level of ripeness being taken to the cellar. There, gentle pressing takes place in order to preserve the fine fruit aromas and clear varietal character. Modern cellar technology and precise temperature control during maturation support a clean, fresh style that is particularly important for alcohol-free specialities.

For maturation, the A. Diehl winery focuses on a fruit-driven style that places the grape variety at the centre. The base wine matures predominantly in stainless-steel tanks, clearly highlighting the primary fruit aromas of banana, melon and nuts. Oak, if used at all, plays a very restrained role, allowing the wine to retain its clear, straightforward structure.

This is followed by gentle dealcoholisation, during which the aromatic profile is preserved as extensively as possible. The fruity and nutty notes then come clearly to the fore, while the low alcohol content gives the wine a light, approachable character. The style of the A. Diehl winery is reflected in the combination of precision, varietal authenticity and enjoyable drinkability.
