Codorníu Zero is a pleasant, non-alcoholic sparkling wine made from Xarel-lo and Chardonnay Unlike some of its competitors, the Codorniu Zero begins as a wine; a product of fermentation. The wine is then subjected to a low temperature vacuum distillation process that removes almost all of the alcohol (less the 0.5% alcohol remains) while preserving its more delicate characteristics. This process is followed by the addition of CO2, sugar and small amounts of flavouring to provide additional interest to the finished product. A pale straw colour in the glass, the wine displays a frothy mousse with a persistent and steady stream of bubbles. The bouquet opens with notes of honey, citrus fruit, apricot, ripe melon and elder flower. The palate is a balanced with fine bubbles that create a nice, fresh counterpoint to the medium-sweet style. In addition to being great with food, enjoy Codorniu Zero well chilled on a hot summer day or use as a mixer in your favourite wine-based cocktail.
