Giesen WinesNon-Alcoholic WineGiesen Zero Rose Review

If you know non-alcoholic wine, you’ll know the Giesen Zero Rose has been hotly anticipated and that it has some big shoes to fill after Giesen saw their Sauv Blanc sell out within days and weeks of it being released. I’ve made my way through two bottles of this and have laid out all you need to know before buying a bottle below. Let’s get to it!

The Giesen Zero Rose scores 8/10 as it provides a fresh and bright profile defined by strawberries, apple & peach. It provides a clean and crisp body with a hint of sweetness that carries red fruits and berries well through each mouthful before transitioning the classic ‘Giesen’ finish that is both tart and cheek quenching.

What Does the Giesen Zero Rose Taste Like

The Giesen Zero Rose is characteristicaly ‘Giesen’ and brings a profile that is refined, light and quenchingly fresh, it even borrows a little from the Giesen Sauv Blanc. If you’re looking for an alcohol-free rose that is fruity yet drier than most you’ll want to read on and find out exactly what’s in store for your glass.

The Giesen Zero Rose is going to bring a mostly dry profile to each and every glass you pour which will be made up of:

  • Great levels of strawberry sweetness to begin, set the scene for your taste buds perfectly.
  • Clean and crisp notes of strawberry and raspberry that pull right the way through a mid-weighted and soft body.
  • A lightly tart and acidic finish that balances out the taste profile and leaves you with a lingering profile of fresh berries.

The carry of flavour through the body and lingering onto the finish is a real strength of the Giesen non-alcoholic rose as you are treated to a flowing flavour of crisp and clean fruit after each mouthful.

As you have likely gathered, the non-alcoholic rose is going to be one of the drier options on the market when compared to other alternatives which is brilliant news for those looking for a drier 0% rose!

With that in mind, this is one that I’ll be drinking alongside the De La Tautila and one that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a lighter fruity and semi-dry non-alc Rose.

Who is the Giesen Zero Rose for?

I’ve been drinking my way through, sharing and talking about the Giesen Zero Rose for a little while now and the feedback I’ve been getting is that it will suit the traditional rose drinker given it is berry led profile that rolls right through the body.

Alternatively, if you’re a white wine drinker who prefers a soft and quenching wine this is going to be an option for you.

If you have tried any of the non-alcoholic rose options above, I would say the Giesen Zero carries a mineral led profile like the Leitz Rose while having less sweetness.

Giesen Zero Rose Rating?

If you’re familiar with Tipple Zero you’ll know that the Giesen Zero range is a front running favourite non-alcoholic wine! The Rose is no different, it comes in at 8/10 and is extremely strong when looking at rankings across the board.

So far as non-alcoholic rose options go this is a great performer taste and body-wise, and ranking this becomes somewhat tedious as:

  1. A drinker who is looking for a bigger, rounder profile and depth will see this as a close to spot on rating; however
  2. If you’re looking for a lighter and fresher profile, you’re going to think I’ve underrated it!

No matter what your preferred profile is, we’ll all be able to agree this is a great alcohol-free rose and one that should definitely form part of anything from your Sunday afternoon cheese board to that midweek ‘have we made it through Wednesday yet’ level of unwinding!

The Round-Up: Final Thoughts

The world is loving what non-alcoholic rose has to offer at the moment and given the taste and quality of the Giesen Zero option, you very quickly understand why.

Summery, bright and fresh, you’re going to love the way this brightens up any occasion and it is a wine that I’m sure will see the same mega sales response as the original Giesen Zero. Get your hands on some to make sure you land a bottle or two! (Links are down below)
