Crisp, Aromatic & Refreshing | Curated by Michelin Sommeliers

Discover exceptional non-alcoholic Riesling curated by Michelin sommeliers and wine industry professionals. Our collection features carefully selected alcohol-free Riesling in both still and sparkling styles, chosen for their vibrant acidity, aromatic character, balance and food-friendly versatility.

Riesling is one of the world's most expressive white wine grapes. Known for its bright acidity, floral aromas and layers of citrus and stone fruit, it can produce everything from bone-dry and mineral-driven wines to beautifully fruit-forward styles.

Whether you're looking for a dry non-alcoholic white wine, a refreshing Riesling for dinner, or sparkling alcohol-free wine for a celebration, explore our curated collection below.

What Is Non-Alcoholic Riesling?

Non-alcoholic Riesling is Riesling wine or a Riesling-based wine beverage made with little or no alcohol while aiming to preserve the grape's characteristic aromas, acidity and flavor.

Riesling is particularly well suited to alcohol-free wine because its naturally high acidity and intense aromatics provide structure and freshness.

Depending on the producer and style, non-alcoholic Riesling can showcase flavors of lemon, lime, green apple, pear, peach, apricot, citrus blossom and mineral notes.

The current collection includes still Riesling as well as sparkling Riesling, including Leitz Eins Zwei Zero Riesling and Dr. Loosen Dr. Lo Riesling.

What Does Non-Alcoholic Riesling Taste Like?

Riesling is prized for its aromatic intensity and refreshing acidity. A well-made alcohol-free Riesling can offer a combination of fruit, floral and mineral characteristics.

Look for tasting notes such as:

• Green apple
• Lemon and lime
• White peach
• Apricot
• Pear
• Citrus blossom
• Honeysuckle
• Mineral notes
• Fresh acidity
• Floral aromas

The exact flavor profile depends on the producer, grape sourcing, residual sugar and winemaking or dealcoholization process.

For example, the Leitz Eins Zwei Zero Riesling currently listed on the site is made from 100% Riesling grapes from the Rheingau region and has an ABV of less than 0.5%.

Dry or Sweet Non-Alcoholic Riesling?

One of Riesling's greatest strengths is its versatility.

Traditional Riesling can range from bone-dry to sweet, and the same broad stylistic variety can be found among alcohol-free Riesling products.

Dry Non-Alcoholic Riesling

Dry Riesling is an excellent choice if you prefer:

• Crisp acidity
• Citrus
• Green apple
• Mineral flavors
• A refreshing finish
• Less perceived sweetness

Fruit-Forward Riesling

If you prefer a softer, fruitier profile, look for Riesling featuring:

• Peach
• Apricot
• Pear
• Ripe apple
• Floral aromas

Always check the individual product's tasting notes and nutritional information rather than assuming that every Riesling has the same sweetness level.

Still vs. Sparkling Non-Alcoholic Riesling

Our collection gives shoppers the opportunity to explore both still and sparkling non-alcoholic Riesling.

Still Non-Alcoholic Riesling

Still Riesling is an excellent choice for everyday drinking and food pairing. Its acidity makes it particularly refreshing alongside seafood, salads, poultry and spicy dishes.

Sparkling Non-Alcoholic Riesling

Sparkling Riesling adds extra freshness and texture, making it especially suitable for:

• Celebrations
• Weddings
• Brunch
• Aperitifs
• Holidays
• Dinner parties

Non-Alcoholic Riesling Food Pairings

One of Riesling's biggest advantages is its exceptional versatility at the table.

• Seafood
• Shrimp
• Oysters

The combination of acidity and aromatic fruit makes Riesling particularly useful with spicy foods. Its freshness can also complement seafood and lighter dishes without overwhelming them.

How to Choose the Best Non-Alcoholic Riesling

Choosing the right alcohol-free Riesling starts with your preferred flavor profile.

For crisp and dry: Look for bright acidity, citrus, green apple and mineral notes.
