Production Details

Gently whole cluster pressed, cold settled, fermented in a stainless-steel tank, no malolactic fermentation. No cooperage - 100% stainless steel.

Missing Thorn is made from real wine, then gently de-alcoholized using a low-temperature vacuum distillation process designed to retain as much character from the base wine as possible. But removing alcohol changes a wine. It impacts texture, structure, and palate weight, which is why the work does not stop once the alcohol is gone. Our approach is to thoughtfully rebuild the wine using naturally derived ingredients that bring back dimension, body, and complexity. Rather than simply removing alcohol and calling it finished, we take the additional step of shaping the wine into something more complete, balanced, and compelling in the glass.

What People Are Saying

  • “The Missing Thorn wines, made by Mr. Pott in California, were also quite good. The white was made with dealcoholized albariño, water, grape juice concentrate, natural flavors and gum arabic, which Mr. Pott called a “flavor encapsulator,” giving his wines more richness and density. It was balanced and seemed relatively complete with a minimal sense of missing components. ”
