A non-alcoholic red cuvée alternative that drinks like a bold, modern cru. Casca takes its name from cascara, the dried coffee cherry. Layering Colombian cascara distillate over red-grape must and verjus (never from concentrate), we weave in cacao shells, specialty-grade decaf coffee, and toasted French oak for a depth of secondary and tertiary aromas rarely found in alcohol-free reds.

Cascara distillate captures the bright, dried-fruit aroma of the coffee cherry. Decaf specialty coffee lends body and oaked mouthfeel. Cacao shells & toasted oak add whispers of chocolate, smoke, and spice—true secondary and tertiary layers.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Wild cascara coffee-cherry, edged with forest berries.
Palate: Red fruit—think blackcurrant and sour cherry with hints of cacao.
Finish: Woody, dry, and tannin-rich, leaving the palate clean and primed for another sip.

Cuvée Rouge Casca

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.

When you pour ALTER, we expect that you will:
  • experience a certain tension: something between freshness, juiciness and subtle bitters,
  • taste a gastronomic style: dry, precise, made to pair with food,
  • recognise a familiar ritual: chill, pour, smell, taste.

Red grape — Cherry — Cascara — hints of Cacao and Oak

Cascara Coffee Berry

We sourced organic Cascara (the fruit around the coffee bean) from a single farm originated from Colombia.
