Updated: Aug 9
Whether you’re taking a break from alcohol, looking for a crisp weeknight sip without the morning after fog, or keeping an eye on calories, finding a non-alcoholic wine that actually tastes like the real deal can feel like a search for a needle in a haystack.
Enter Giesen 0% Dealcoholized Sauvignon Blanc, the world’s first alcohol-removed New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that doesn't compromise on that signature Marlborough brightness.
What Does It Taste Like?
If you love a classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc ("Savvy B"), you already know the profile: punchy aromatics, vibrant citrus, and a crisp, mouth-watering finish. Giesen 0% delivers that exact experience.
Aromatics: Fresh lime zest, delicate redcurrant, and a touch of warm lemon shortbread.
Palate: Juicy passionfruit, tart pear, grapefruit, and earthy blackcurrant notes.
Finish: Crisp, dry, and thoroughly invigorating.

How It’s Made: The Spinning Cone Process
How do you get full strength Marlborough flavor without the alcohol? Giesen uses advanced spinning cone column technology to protect the delicate aromatics of the grape:
Craft the Full-Strength Wine
Traditional Winemaking
Giesen first crafts a standard, full-strength New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc using classic Marlborough grapes to develop full flavor complexity.
Gentle Vacuum Distillation
Spinning Cone Technology .
Using spinning cone technology, the wine is gently separated under low heat and vacuum into three distinct components: delicate aroma, alcohol, and wine body.
Reinfuse the Natural Aromas
The captured natural Sauvignon Blanc aromas are blended back into the dealcoholized wine body to restore its characteristic fragrance and profile.
Final Touch for Balance
A small splash of fresh, premium grape juice is added to round out the mouthfeel, resulting in a crisp, juicy finish under 0.5% ABV.

Giesen 0% is designed for any occasion where you want the ritual of enjoying a glass of wine without the downside.
Best Occasion: The ideal "After Work Wind Down" when you want to relax without affecting tomorrow's alarm.
