Perfect Summer Wine

I was pleasantly surprised with this wine. I’m not usually a white wine drinker, but the Giesen 0% Riesling is light, sweet, and so refreshing. It has those lovely crisp fruity taste, and a perfect balance of sweetness and crisp acidity.
The best part , no hot flashes. Since it’s alcohol-free, it didn’t bring on any of my usual menopause symptoms I get from drinking alcohol. This one’s definitely earned a spot on my regular shopping list!

Taste so good

Review of Giesen 0% Riesling

Giesen 0% Riesling is a remarkable achievement in the world of alcohol-free wines. This New Zealand producer has successfully captured the essence and sophistication of traditional Riesling while skillfully removing the alcohol content.

Aroma is immediately captivating – bright lime notes interweave beautifully with delicate citrus blossom and elderflower. The bouquet unfolds gradually, showcasing all the varietal characteristics that make Riesling so beloved.

Palate delivers exactly what the nose promises. The wine is refreshingly vibrant with prominent zesty lime and ripe mandarin flavors. There’s a lovely touch of sweetness that’s perfectly balanced by crisp, clean acidity. The mouthfeel is surprisingly full and satisfying for an alcohol-free wine.

Overall impression– this is wine that doesn’t compromise on quality or enjoyment. It’s perfect for any occasion where you want the sophistication of wine without the alcohol effects. Whether you’re hosting friends, enjoying a quiet dinner at home, or simply want to cut back on alcohol without sacrificing flavor, this delivers beautifully.

The fact that it retains such authentic Riesling character while being completely alcohol-free is impressive. It’s refreshing to find a non-alcoholic wine that doesn’t taste like it’s missing something essential.

**Rating: 4.5/5** – An excellent example of how modern winemaking techniques can create premium alcohol-free wines that rival their traditional counterparts. Highly recommended for wine lovers seeking quality alternatives.

Dealcoholized and Delicious!

I've recently been cutting down on alcohol, but have struggled to find a flavorful, alcohol-free wine option. While I'm not usually a white wine gal, this Reisling is a wonderful mixture of lime, citrus blossom and elderflower aromas. It went so well with a cheese plate and green grapes on a warm afternoon. Would definitely consider purchasing again!

Very Sweet

I found it tasted a lot like apple juice and was very sweet. I don't think it tastes much like a Riesling. However, it did have the same "mouth" feel as a very sweet wine, so I guess it can still give you a similar experience.

A decent replacement for wine

I was very excited to try this dealcoholised Riesling as I love the variety and white wine tends to be the worst for giving headaches for me.
I chilled before serving, it has good flavour with some slight bubbliness to it but also some syrupy sweetness that is hard for non alcoholic wines to get away from.
All in all this would be a decent replacement if you couldn’t or didn’t want to drink alcoholic wine.

Tasty

The Giesen Riesling is a White Wine. I'm a white wine or rose girly so this was right up my alley. It's a twist off which is major bonus points. It still tastes like a white wine but not as intense.

Great Pick for Alcohol-Free Wine!

I am honestly surprised by how close this tastes to a regular Riesling. Giesen has done a great job keeping the crisp acidity, fruity notes and just the right level of sweetness. It’s refreshing and well-balanced. It's not too sweet or flat like some other non-alcoholic wines. If you’re looking for something that actually feels like wine, not just fancy grape juice, this is a solid pick. Great for casual sipping or pairing with food.

Very Flavorful

Giesen 0% Riesling is a standout non-alcoholic wine that doesn’t compromise on flavour. Bursting with bright aromas of lime, citrus blossom, and elderflower, it delivers a refreshing palate of zesty lime and juicy mandarin, balanced with a touch of sweetness and crisp acidity. Perfect for a casual evening or celebratory toast—especially when you want the wine experience without the alcohol. Pairs beautifully with light dishes like citrus ceviche or a fresh fruit salad.

Sweet and Crisp

Crisp, vibrant, and full of those classic Riesling notes – think zesty lime, juicy peach, and a touch of green apple - it is a touch on the sweeter side for me. It’s completely alcohol-free and still delivers on flavor. Perfect for when you want a glass of wine without the effects. 🙌
