Kolonne Null Riesling 2025: What to Know Before You Buy
Kolonne Null Riesling 2025 is a 0.0% ABV, organic dealcoholized Riesling from Germany. The producer lists loamy loess and slate as its origin/terroir context and describes the wine with mirabelle, quince and a salty edge. It is best evaluated as an alcohol-free table wine, not as a direct replacement for a conventional single-vineyard German Riesling.
As of August 2026, Kolonne Null’s product page lists the 2025 vintage in its current range. Because alcohol-free wine releases, pricing and availability can change quickly, verify the current bottle and label before ordering.
Kolonne Null Riesling 2025 at a glance

| Vintage | 2025 |
| Grape | Riesling |
| Origin | Germany |
| Alcohol | 0.0% ABV |

| Energy | 16 kcal per 100 mL |
| Sugars | 2.8 g per 100 mL |

The published sugar figure equals 28 g per liter on a nutritional basis. Do not compare that number mechanically with Germany’s legal sweetness categories for conventional wine: this product is a dealcoholized wine with its own formulation and production process.
How is Kolonne Null Riesling made?
Kolonne Null says it starts with fermented wine and removes alcohol by vacuum distillation. Under vacuum, alcohol can evaporate at a much lower temperature than under normal atmospheric pressure; the company says its process operates at around 30°C.
The producer also describes an aroma-recovery step after dealcoholization. Its current Riesling ingredient list includes dealcoholized German wine, rectified concentrated grape must, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
What should it taste like?
Kolonne Null’s current tasting description emphasizes ripe mirabelle, quince and a salty edge. The brand’s alcohol-free white-wine collection also characterizes the Riesling as acidic and mineral rather than overtly soft or tropical.
That is the producer’s description, not an independent tasting note from Germany Rieslings. Dealcoholization changes body, warmth and texture, so a 0.0% wine should not be expected to reproduce the mid-palate weight or finish of a conventional Riesling with alcohol.
Who is this bottle best for?
- People who want a wine-format drink with no alcohol at dinner or social occasions.
- Hosts who want a bottle that can sit naturally alongside wine rather than serving only soda or juice.
- Riesling drinkers curious about how acidity and aromatic character translate after dealcoholization.
- People comparing alcohol-free wines on their own merits rather than expecting a one-for-one substitute for conventional wine.
Who may be disappointed?
- Drinkers looking for the texture, length and alcohol-derived body of a conventional German Riesling.
- Collectors looking for vineyard expression, bottle development or cellar potential.
- Buyers who assume “0.0% Riesling” will automatically taste bone-dry. Check the published nutrition and your own sweetness preference.
- Anyone buying from an old review without checking which vintage or formulation is currently on sale.
How to serve Kolonne Null Riesling
Serve it properly chilled in a white-wine glass. A cool serving temperature helps acidity and freshness do more of the work that alcohol normally contributes to wine structure.
The producer suggests seafood, light pasta and fruit-based desserts. For a more savory use, try it with sushi, lightly salted seafood or dishes where acidity is more useful than tannin or alcohol.
How does it compare with low-alcohol Riesling?
A 0.0% dealcoholized Riesling and a naturally low-alcohol Mosel Kabinett solve different problems. A Kabinett may still contain 7–9% ABV while retaining fermentation-derived texture and aroma. Kolonne Null removes the alcohol after fermentation to reach 0.0%.
If you want less alcohol rather than zero alcohol, compare this bottle with our low-alcohol German Riesling guide. If sweetness is your main concern, use the German Riesling sweetness guide.
What to check before buying
- Confirm the vintage. This page reflects the 2025 Riesling listed by Kolonne Null in August 2026.
- Check the alcohol statement on the exact bottle. Kolonne Null sells other products below 0.5% ABV as well as 0.0% products.
- Check the ingredient and allergen list if that matters to you; the current Riesling contains sulfites.
- Compare the current nutrition with other alcohol-free wines, especially if sweetness is a deciding factor.
- Treat retailer price and availability as time-sensitive rather than permanent product attributes.
Bottom line
Kolonne Null Riesling 2025 is a credible option when the goal is a 0.0% wine-style drink built from fermented Riesling rather than grape juice. Its strongest case is practical: recognizable Riesling acidity and fruit in a format that removes alcohol. Buy it for that role, not because you expect it to reproduce the structure of a traditional Mosel, Rheingau or Nahe Riesling.
