GIESEN WINES
Alcohol-Removed
Chardonnay
This alcohol-removed wine from New Zealand offers a sophisticated and refreshing alternative to traditional Chardonnay – without compromising on taste or quality.
It was important to our team to craft a dealcoholized wine of premium quality, while staying as true-to-style as possible. For us, this means a drier style than other NA Chardonnay wines – you won’t find excessive sweetness here!
0% Alcohol. 100% Flavor.

INTRODUCING GIESEN 0% CHARDONNAY: FRESH, VIBRANT, COMPLEX
To craft Giesen 0% Chardonnay, our team carefully selected classic, cool-climate grapes from Hawke’s Bay and Waipara wine regions. The Hawke’s Bay fruit brings ripe peach, stonefruit and mealy notes to the wine, whilst Waipara adds citrus fruit and crisp acidity
How does it taste?
This no-alcohol Chardonnay offers a bouquet of citrus and stonefruit, with French oak influence.
The fresh and zesty palate reveals creamy vanilla, leading to a long, silky smooth finish with lingering buttery, toasty notes. Perfect for enjoying at home, out with friends and family, or anytime you’d prefer a glass of wine without the after-effects of alcohol.
0% compromise.
Our latest release is the result of an expert team of passionate, award-winning winemakers who specialise in no- and low-alcohol creations. Our team takes pride in crafting 0% wines that retain the flavour and wine-like characteristics of their full-strength counterparts.
They have been diligently experimenting to create a premium, great-tasting, low-calorie, dealcoholized New Zealand Chardonnay wine. As the first winery in New Zealand to own spinning cone technology, our team has the unique ability to experiment and ensure that every no-alcohol product we produce is of the highest quality
But is it wine?!
We want our non-alcoholic options to give you everything you’d expect from a premium New Zealand wine. So we go through the entire winemaking process, before we gently remove the alcohol. Here's how we do it...
Giesen 0% Chardonnay undergoes the same process as the rest of our Giesen 0% range, starting with producing premium full-strength wine, then using our own spinning cone technology, we gently remove the alcohol.
For the base wine of our Giesen 0% Chardonnay, a portion undergoes malolactic fermentation to achieve a creamy mouthfeel and butterscotch flavours. This portion is then aged on French oak, imparting a toasty complexity, richness, and enhanced mouthfeel. The remaining portion of the base blend is aged in stainless steel, preserving purity, freshness, intense fruit flavours, and the classic New Zealand juicy acidity.
Chardonnay, as a wine style, lends itself well to dealcoholization, because of the complex flavours from the fruit and oak. Malolactic fermentation also brings a creamy mid-palate that is often missing in no-alcohol wines.
DID YOU KNOW?
The guidelines for what counts as "wine" relate to how the product is made, rather than whether there is any alcohol content! So because we ferment our grapes first, yes - Giesen 0% is still classed as a wine. That's how we get such a varietally expressive end product!
Step One
We make a delicious, full-strength New Zealand wine with the classic flavors loved around the world.
Step Two
We use innovative spinning cone technology to gently distill the wine into layers:
AROMA
ALCOHOL
BODY
Step Three
We carefully collect that delicate aroma and add it back into the body of the wine (sans alcohol!)
Step Four
We add just a touch of premium grape juice to round out the final blend. There you have it! Delish.
100% shareable.
One of the reasons we started making Giesen 0% is so there's truly a Giesen Wine for everybody - even if you're not drinking alcohol. So when we say this is a wine you can enjoy any time, we mean it!
Enjoy over a platter with friends, a picnic with family, or even at your local bar on date night (if they're clever enough to stock it!)
Serve this no-alcohol option at your next event to enjoy a glass of wine without the after-effects.
