Sparkling Quince-Essence

Palate. SAVEUR DRINKS describes a dry finesse, subtle yeast notes and delicate hints of quince. The company locates the drink's appeal in the way its yeasty notes blend with the invigorating freshness of quince.^[1],[2]

Apples and Pears — Fermented Base. The apples and pears come from the Lake Constance region, sourced from small local producers. Both fruits are fermented to create a light, slightly tart, yeasty flavour. Together they form the non-alcoholic apple-pear cider at the base of the drink.^[1]

Quince Juice — Freshness and Spice. The drink contains natural quince juice, which SAVEUR DRINKS says adds freshness and spicy notes.^[1]

Decaffeinated Ceylon Black Tea — Aromatic Complement. Decaffeinated Ceylon black tea is part of the blend, and its aromas complement the drink's flavour.^[1]

The apples and pears are fermented, a step SAVEUR DRINKS links to the drink's light, slightly tart, yeasty character. The alcohol is gently removed after fermentation. The liquid is aged in classic oak barriques.^[1]

Sparkling Quince-Essence is a carbonated beverage built from tea combined with non-alcoholic apple-pear cider, produced by SAVEUR DRINKS. The apples and pears are fermented, and the alcohol is then gently removed. The base is aged in classic oak barriques, which SAVEUR DRINKS credits with adding an additional layer of complexity. The company positions the drink as an alternative for lovers of well-aged Brut champagne.^[1]

Quince-Essence was awarded a silver medal at the 2025 World Alcohol-Free Awards.^[3]
