Zeno Alcohol-Liberated Tempranillo

Sweetness: Dry

Grapes: Tempranillo

Grape info: Spain’s most planted red variety, famous for its role in the blends of Rioja. Tempranillo produces markedly tannic wines with notes of leather, tobacco, spice and sometimes strawberries.

About: When Zeno wasn’t busy philosophising, his main enjoyment was to sit in the sun eating figs and drinking wine. It’s all about balance. ZENO's mission is to craft the best alcohol-liberated wine alternatives possible, with regional and varietal expression, for the more discerning wine drinker on occasions where they choose not to drink alcohol.

At harvest, parcels of only the best fruit are selected, with specific qualities tailored for getting the perfect result through the dealcoholisation process.

Carefully vinified in a world class winery, the wines are then meticulously blended, before the alcohol is gently removed using the world’s most advanced technology.

Tasting note: Vibrant ruby red with bright salmon pink edge. Pronounced aromas of red and black forest fruits, sweet spices and sweet green pepper. On the palate, ripe blackberries and raspberries merge with juicy plums and hints of crisp cherry. There is spice, pepper and bright tannin adding weight to a creamy mouthfeel and textured, satisfyingly long finish.

Character: Blackberry, raspberry, cherry
