Next best thing that comes to mind is boiling it in a vacuum. This technique comes with it's own set of challenges as I'm sure you can imagine but I put nothing past a homebrewerIs there any other way besides freezing that will not compromise the quality of the must?

Since you want to keep the aromatics, I'd recommend more of a distilling than a boiling in a vacuum. I wonder if it's legal to distill fruit juice before fermenting it?Next best thing that comes to mind is boiling it in a vacuum.

It's a closed system. The aromatics, having a lower boiling point than water, would go with the alcohol.Still, I would think with distilling, you would lose aromatics with the water you take off, surely they are more volatile than H2O

There shouldn't be any alcohol yet, since it is prefermentation.
