The arrival of Elton John Zero has officially caught the attention of the experts, with The Drinks Business offering an in-depth professional assessment of the new 0.0% ABV Blanc de Blancs. The review delves into the unique craftsmanship behind the bottle, highlighting the innovative fermentation process and the selection of cool-climate Chardonnay from Northern Italy that gives the drink its distinctively crisp character.
A key focus of the critique was the sophisticated mouthfeel, which avoids the common pitfalls of the alcohol-free category. By incorporating green tea extract to provide a delicate tannin structure, the drink achieves a complexity that impressed Master of Wine Patrick Schmitt:
“In short, this is a squeaky-clean 0% fizz with a sophisticated and appealing personality – there is nothing saccharine or confected about this newcomer to the expanding alcohol-free wine sector.”
