- Levin 0% Blanc de Blanc is a nonalcoholic sparkling wine with nice tiny bubbles and persistent foam. The nose offers aromas of white flowers such as acacia and hawthorn, hazelnut notes, toasted bread, and exotic fruits like mango. On the palate, it is refreshing with a nice acidity, with creamy and pleasant bubbles.
Levin 0% is the first range of organic alcohol-free wine produced by non-alcoholic fermentation with native yeast and lactic acid bacteria. Developed and bottled at the Villa Noria estate, Levin 0% is certified organic, vegan and completely natural (no sulfites, no preservatives, no added flavours and no dealcoholization that changes the balance of the wine). The Chardonnay grapes are harvested at night at the beginning of August to have grape juice with high acidity and low residual sugar. After destemming and crushing, we make 12 hours of skin contact at 3 °C to extract the aromas from the skin of the berries, and then a gentle pressing. The innovation of Levin 0% is to ferment the juice with homemade bacteria and yeast strains that produce no alcohol. This no-alcoholic fermentation transforms the sugar from the grape juice into lactic acid, glycerol, CO2 and aromas. After this nonalcoholic fermentation, we make a sterile filtration and pasteurization in a bottle to stabilize Levin 0%. We use no sulfites and other additives.

Winery | The Chardonnay grapes for Levin 0% Blanc de Blanc come from a single vineyard, ‘Les Colombiers’, at the bottom of a volcanic hillside. This volcanic terroir has basaltic soils formed from cooled, hardened, and weathered lava, which contains high proportions of iron, imparting the wine with distinctive minerality. The vines are pruned according to the Guyot method. The vineyard is certified organic, and sustainable practices are employed. Hedges surround the vines to protect them from pesticide treatments in the neighbouring fields and provide a wildlife refuge, enhancing biodiversity and creating a balance. |
