Production of Domaine Schloss Johannisberg Gelblack Riesling alcohol-free

The grapes for the Domaine Schloss Johannisberg Gelblack Riesling alcohol-free - Kolonne Null come from selected Riesling sites in Germany. The moderate climate with warm days and cool nights supports slow and even ripening of the berries. This leads to the development of intense aromas of citrus fruits and stone fruit, accompanied by a distinctive, finely honed acidity structure.

The soils in the growing areas show a mix of slate, loess and partly gravelly components. This combination shapes the wine with exciting minerality and lends it clarity and depth. On these subsoils, Riesling develops impressive aromatic precision and an elegant, taut style.

The harvest is selective, with particular focus on aromatically ripe, sound grapes without overripeness. Gentle processing of the berries preserves the full spectrum of aromas. The must is obtained carefully so that only the finest grape must enters the later base wine.

After temperature-controlled fermentation, a classic Riesling base wine with pronounced fruit and clear structure is created first. In the next step, Kolonne Null gently removes the alcohol, often using gentle methods at low temperatures. In this way, the varietal profile of the Riesling is preserved while the alcohol content drops to 0.0% vol.

Maturation takes place predominantly in stainless steel tanks in order to place freshness, fruit and the typical Riesling acidity in the foreground. Oak plays a subordinate role here so that the focus remains on the pure, clear fruit. Careful aging on fine lees lends the wine additional body and a pleasantly smooth texture.

The style of Kolonne Null is consistently geared towards characterful alcohol-free wines. Precise aromatics, typical varietal expression and high drinking pleasure are central. This creates an alcohol-free Riesling that recalls the classic model and meets the expectations of modern wine lovers.
