A non-alcoholic sparkling alternative for aperitif occasions. Cuvée Geranium captures ALTER’s signature depth in a lively, herbal-toned cuvée where Pelargonium crispum (lemon geranium) meets French oak and rosemary over a bright, fruit-driven base.

We cultivate our own botanicals and distil them alcohol-free to preserve primary and secondary aromas. The centrepiece is a South-African lemon-geranium strain, balanced by organic French oak and fresh rosemary. These distillates are blended into a base of white stone fruit and a blend of unripe grapes, then lightly carbonated to deliver wine-like structure without alcohol.

Geranium is “Crafted, not removed.” It is not de-alcoholised wine (an industrial shortcut that strips aroma); instead, it’s designed from the ground up as a non-alcoholic alternative with multiple dimensions and a clean, refreshing finish.
Tasting Notes

Nose:Aromatic herbs and warm spice, lifted by a twist of citrus zest.

Food pairing

Vegetables: fennel, zucchini, asparagus, peas, artichoke, endive.

Fruits: citrus ( lemon, yuzu, bergamot, grapefruit zest), stone (apricot, peach, pear, green apple, quince), tropical (lychee, pineapple, unripe mango).

Meat & Poultry: chicken, turkey or duck, veal, pork tenderloin.

Fish: white fish (sea bass, cod, halibut, hake), oily fish (trout or salmon), shellfish (scallops, prawns, lobster), cephalopods (octopus, squid). 

Sauces: French (lemon beurre blanc, sauce vierge), Italian (salsa verde, gremolata, pistachio-almond pesto), Middle-Eastern (yogurt-tahini-lemon), Asian (ponzu-yuzu dressings)

Vinegars & Condiments: vinegars (white wine (or ALTER Cedro)), fine sherry, verjus, rice vinegar), saline notes (preserved lemon, capers, green olive tapenade, rosemary salt), pickled vegetables, Dijon, white miso, good olive oil.

Avoid: heavy sweet glazes or smoky BBQ sauces that overwhelm the fine citrus and floral notes.

What you can expect in the glass:
Not the taste of wine, but the layered complexity

ALTER blends botanicals, layer upon layer, with juices from unripe grapes and fruit. That creates complex layering, but of course no alcohol.
