Story

Weingut Rieger is quietly brilliant, deeply rooted, and always pushing forward with purpose. What started as a mixed family farm evolved into a serious wine estate in the 1980s. Today, Rieger is farming biodynamically, working with the lunar calendar, and letting nature do the talking. Wildflower cover crops, living soils, horn preparations, and spontaneous fermentations all come together to craft wines that feel alive - vibrant, textured, and honest. Add in their sustainability efforts, and you get a winery that’s not just making wine, but shaping a future.

Their Rieger Zero White is the kind of alcohol-free wine you pour for someone who swears they’d “never enjoy a non-alc,” and watch their eyebrows raise. Made from Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, and Muscat, it keeps all the juicy, aromatic charm of the original wines thanks to gentle reverse osmosis, which removes the alcohol while protecting the bright fruit and natural structure. Expect lifted aromas, a fresh, lightly aromatic palate, and that clean, zesty line you’d hope for from these classic German varieties. It’s light, pure, and properly wine-like, without the %.

PAIRING GUIDE

Rieger Zero White shines with dishes that mirror its bright, aromatic personality. Try it with a zesty ceviche or a citrus-marinated grilled chicken salad - anything with freshness and lift will play beautifully. For something plant-based, go for a Thai-inspired lemongrass tofu with crunchy veg and herbs; the wine’s gentle aromatics pick up those fragrant notes effortlessly. It’s also brilliant alongside soft cheeses, summer rolls, or a simple plate of grilled asparagus with lemon oil. Light, vibrant dishes are its sweet spot.
