Production Details

Gently whole cluster pressed, cold settled, fermented in a stainless-steel tank, no malolactic fermentation. No cooperage - 100% stainless steel.

We use an innovative low temperature vacuum distillation process to remove the alcohol while preserving 100% of the natural aromas and flavors from the original wine. The acidity, sweetness and tastes change slightly and as the alcohol is removed.  We dilute the wine with water to compensate for alcohol lost and add natural flavors to complement the existing flavors of the wine.

What People Are Saying

  • “The Missing Thorn wines, made by Mr. Pott in California, were also quite good. The white was made with dealcoholized albariño, water, grape juice concentrate, natural flavors and gum arabic, which Mr. Pott called a “flavor encapsulator,” giving his wines more richness and density. It was balanced and seemed relatively complete with a minimal sense of missing components. ”
