Rating: 98 Points Read the review: https://www.somegoodcleanfun.com/non-alcoholic-wine/review-new-oceano-zero-2024-chardonnay A fresh, coastal Chardonnay for prestige non-alcoholic wine programs seeking freshness, texture, food versatility, and a clear sense of vineyard identity. Tasting Notes: Lemon curd, guava, apple, and pear are layered with citrus blossom and subtle brioche. Dry and mouthwatering, with saline lift, bright acidity, mineral tension, and a long citrus finish. Winemaking: Our Chardonnay is hand-picked at night, whole-cluster pressed, cold settled, and barrel fermented in French oak barrels and puncheons. It is aged in French oak for 18 months, including 15% new oak, with extended lees aging and weekly stirring to build texture and depth. Alcohol Removal: Oceano Zero redefines luxury wine by removing alcohol through Solos vacuum distillation with aroma recovery, preserving the wine’s aromatic detail, varietal character, and sense of place. After dealcoholization, Chardonnay must concentrate and minimal yeast proteins are added in measured amounts to support balance and texture. Vineyard Details: Sustainably grown at Spanish Springs Vineyard on California’s San Luis Obispo Coast, just 1.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The vineyard is shaped by cool marine air, coastal fog, and ancient seabed soils rich in limestone, sandstone, and marine shale.
