35° Sauvignon Blanc Alcohol-Free

35° Grad Sauvignon Blanc Mirabellen Blüten – Non-Alcoholic Food Companion

The Manufaktur Jörg Geiger 35° Grad Sauvignon Blanc Mirabellen Blüten is a non-alcoholic wine, refined with gooseberry and mirabelle plum juice, herbal and floral extracts, a dry, non-alcoholic food companion.

Through the combination of dealcoholized Sauvignon Blanc with gooseberry and mirabelle plum juice, as well as dealcoholized partially fermented apple cider, a white-scented bouquet dominates. With this base, refined with pear juice, a herbal and floral extract, and spices, Jörg Geiger recreates a drink reminiscent of a fragrant white wine.

How the 35° Sauvignon Blanc tastes:

The 35 Grad Sauvignon Blanc Mirabellen Blüten smells of light grape, juicy mirabelle plums, elderflower, and green gooseberry, peppery, vegetal. On the palate, it is dry with a delicately tart, herbaceous impression and notes of green apple. Thus, the non-alcoholic 35 Grad Sauvignon Blanc Mirabellen Blüten is a good food companion for fine salads, spring vegetables like asparagus, herb cream cheese, fish and shellfish, as well as light dishes with white poultry, and a dry alternative to white wine without alcohol. Recommended serving temperature 8-10 degrees Celsius.

Non-alcoholic food companion – Jörg Geiger's "Grad-Wanderung" (Degree Journey)

GRAD°WANDERUNG is the name of Manufaktur Jörg Geiger's new non-alcoholic line, which offers four dry, dealcoholized wines refined with herbs, flowers, and spices. The refinement with juices and herbal extracts creates a significantly more complex and diverse drink than a purely dealcoholized drink, a wine without alcohol, could be.

Finally, Manufaktur Jörg Geiger has 20 years of experience in the non-alcoholic sector, and since 2021, its own dealcoholization plant, and works exclusively with natural raw materials and products. For example, the still food companions are neither artificially sweetened nor de-acidified.

First, the Sauvignon Blanc white wine is gently dealcoholized. Gentle means removing the alcohol with minimal temperature addition but maximum time. How low the temperature can be depends on the alcohol content of the wine used. The Riesling is dealcoholized at 32°C, the Rosé at 33°C, the Sauvignon Blanc at 35°C, and the Grenache at 36°C. The temperature was thus the inspiration for the naming of this new non-alcoholic line.

Why is GRAD°WANDERUNG not a "proper" non-alcoholic wine?

Despite all efforts, Jörg Geiger believes that pure dealcoholized wine does not live up to high-quality standards and the associated expectations. Although natural wine aromas are recovered through aroma recovery, the part bound to alcohol is involuntarily lost, leading to a sensory change. Non-alcoholic wine was thus always associated with renunciation, not only of alcohol, and did not become the equivalent counterpart to wine with alcohol. Therefore, inventor and affineur Jörg Geiger sees dealcoholized wine merely as a welcome basis for creating new non-alcoholic beverages with less sweetness and a new variety of fermentation aromas. With over 20 years of experience in "rethinking non-alcoholic," based on the use of around 200 dry spices, 70 freshly harvested herbs, 20 flowers, and self-obtained hydrolates, he succeeds in creating unique still, dry food companions without alcohol. Since Jörg Geiger not only removes alcohol but also adds juice, herbs, flowers, and spices, the sugar-reduced, non-alcoholic food companion may not legally be called a non-alcoholic wine, but rather a dealcoholized, flavored, wine-containing beverage. The alcohol content is usually 0.3% and always remains below the legal definition of "non-alcoholic" of <0.5 vol%. That is why Manufaktur Geiger uses the international designation "Alcohol removed".
