Premiere 2026: Our First Sparkling Verjus

This week was the day: For the first time, we harvested grapes at our winery for our own Verjus. On Wednesday at 6:00 a.m., we began harvesting our young, already slightly colored Zweigelt grapes. For us, this is a real first, because it will become our first non-alcoholic aperitif: Verjus Sparkling.

The grapes are deliberately harvested much earlier than for the classic wine harvest. At this stage, they offer particularly fresh fruit and the acidity typical of Verjus. It is precisely this freshness and acidity that we deliberately want to preserve, because they give our Verjus Sparkling its very own character.

Our goal was clear from the start: We want to create a non-alcoholic Frizzante that is fresh, finely sparkling, pleasantly fruity, and harmonious to drink. The typical Verjus acidity should remain noticeable, but at the same time be so balanced that the Sparkling is a real pleasure and is perfectly suited as an aperitif.

Thanks to the Zweigelt grapes, our Verjus also gets its fine orange-rosé color. This creates a fresh, sparkling, and non-alcoholic aperitif that offers an exciting alternative to classic Frizzante or Sekt.

Our Verjus Sparkling Rosé comes pre-blended and ready to drink straight in the 0.75 l bottle. Simply chill well, pour, and enjoy. For us, this project is something very special. It is the first time we are producing Verjus at our winery and at the same time the start of a completely new product in our range.

And you won't have to wait much longer: You can already taste our Verjus Sparkling Rosé at the Rohrendorf Kellergassenfest 2026. Shortly before that, it will also be available in our online shop.

We are already very much looking forward to the finished result and above all to sharing our first Verjus Sparkling with you.

Stay tuned, something completely new is coming from our winery!
