Mosel
Weingut Boch
In the 1980s, Michaël Boch presented himself at a very young age to take over the small and sympathetic family domain of father Heribert. When he was barely 16 he got his first vineyard from his father and at the age of 21 he was the youngest winemaker in the Moselle. He has 2 of the most enviable vineyards in Trittenheim at his disposal. The Altärchen vineyard, which forms the inner meander of the Moselle, and the famous Apotheke vineyard, blessed with an exceptional terroir. This south-westerly oriented steep slope (up to 70% gradient) that forms the outer bend of the Moselle here is composed of the famous Shiesser layers on which Riesling finds an ideal substrate and which give these wines an exceptional tension and minerality. The medals, awards and prizes can hardly be counted at the Boch house, but they have never made the modest Michael walk wrong. Meanwhile, son Maximilian is already playing the drums to be able to contribute. He has already completed an internship at some of the most renowned wine estates in the Moselle and, like his father, has barely outgrown his diapers and is already ready to introduce new ideas and realize his own projects. The future is assured with this. A reassuring idea for any wine lover who has ever had the privilege of getting to know this affable winery.

FizZERO
The idea behind the creation of Fizzero wines arose from the growing demand for alcohol-free beverages that are adapted to the spirit of the times and also offer a tasty yet comparable alternative to classic sparkling wine as an aperitif. Alcohol and driving have not gone together for some time now, but whether you are a driver or simply a non-alcoholic drinker, you of course have just as much right to raise your glass and what could be nicer than doing so with a comparable, refreshing, stimulating, and tasty drink. The technique for removing alcohol from wine has convincingly proven not to offer a quality alternative! However, the people at Fizzero turned the problem around and developed a technique to initiate fermentation using specific bacteria that do not produce alcohol as a residual product but do convert sugars into acids. The addition of green tea further enhanced the vinous effect. For the rosé, the same base as for the white was used, but the addition of black carrots gives the 'wine' a beautiful rosé color and a slightly sweet note. 0.0% alcohol, 100% flavor!
