Kolonne Null Verdejo
Kolonne Null Verdejo is a non-alcoholic white wine made in Spain from 100% Verdejo grapes. Tropical fruit leads, with pineapple, mango and papaya balanced by fresh citrus, green herbs and the variety’s characteristic hint of bitterness. Light-bodied and lively, it has enough acidity and herbal structure to keep the generous fruit from wandering into fruit-juice territory.
Why We Love It
Verdejo is particularly well suited to dealcoholization because it brings more than fruit to the table. Its grassy, herbal character and gentle bitterness give the wine shape, while bright acidity keeps the tropical notes feeling fresh. Kolonne Null works closely with its partner wineries and uses gentle vacuum distillation with aroma recovery to preserve as much of the original wine’s character as possible. The result is easygoing but not entirely simple — precisely what we want from a warm-weather white.
This one wants dinner: citrusy ceviche, grilled white fish with herbs, seared scallops, shrimp tacos, roast chicken, pork tenderloin with apples, grilled zucchini with chèvre, a Mediterranean vegetable tart, or a soft-ripened cheese with fruit.
