(2023) This was a pleasant zero alcohol sparkling drink from this Danish brand, the wine from which it is made sourced in Germany. It's a blend of Pinot Blanc and Silvaner, with a little herbal tang to the aroma and quite a crisp, crunchy apple and zesty citrus palate, just a hint of sweetness, but good acidity balances.
(2023) The base of this de-alcoholised white comes from near Toledo in Castilla-La Mancha, though the product is manufactured in Germany where a blend of spices, fruits and wood extracts are used to add more character to the drink. The seller describes "the bouquet, the alcohol burn and the balanced acidity lingering after every sip," which makes little sense. Aromas are peachy, with an overlay of sweet vanilla, and there's something that reminds me of old fashioned sweeties jars. In the mouth it is fairly dry, with some of that vanillin character, light- to medium bodied. It has a pleasant, if neutral overall character.
(2023) The rosé version is made from Merlot and Pinot Noir, again sourced and bottled in Germany. This was probably my favourite of the Château delISH range tasted here. Some raspberry-like aromas as well as sherbet lemon and a little herbal tang. The palate is basically dry, rosy apple skin and lemon flavours are well balanced.
