Type: Alcohol-Free Sparkling Tea / Grape-Based Beverage
Region: Nahe, Germany
Grapes: Grape juice-based; not a conventional grape-varietal wine
Alcohol ABV: 0.0%
Aroma:
Delicate and refreshing, with bright citrus, fresh herbs, floral notes, and subtle red-fruit aromas. Lemon balm gives the drink a lifted herbal character, while lacto-fermented raspberry adds a gentle berry complexity.
Palate:
Light, crisp, and gently sparkling, with refreshing acidity and a dry, elegant finish. Fresh grape and citrus flavours are balanced by lemon balm, subtle wormwood bitterness, and a touch of tart raspberry. Rather than tasting like sweet grape juice, Freija has a more layered, savoury and grown-up character.
Freija No.1 is created as an alcohol-free sparkling tea, rather than through conventional winemaking. It combines lemon balm tea, grape juice, wormwood, verjus, and a small amount of lacto-fermented raspberry. The result is a complex, lightly sparkling drink designed to provide the freshness, structure, and gastronomic qualities normally associated with wine, without alcohol.
The project comes from Glow Glow, the natural-wine label of the Baumberger family in the Nahe region of Germany, created by Pauline and Carl Baumberger. The project focuses on organically farmed ingredients and low-intervention production, with an emphasis on freshness, energy, and natural expression.
