Moderato × Sigalas Rabaud alcohol-free botrytized sweet wine
Summary
A claimed world-first: an alcohol-free wine made from botrytized Sémillon, traditionally hand-picked and vinified, then de-alcoholized — Sauternes-style noble-sweet wine in the zero-proof space, made with Château Sigalas Rabaud.
Why it matters
Zero-proof has been stuck on dry whites and sparkling; a botrytized sweet wine from a Sauternes 1er Cru Classé finally gives nolo a dessert course.
Rationale
Tagged Technology for the de-alcoholization of noble-rot wine — keeping botrytized Sémillon's character through alcohol removal is the technical story.
