Emile and Mélanie started Cul Sec because their father stopped drinking. They wanted to find him something with the same complexity he'd lost. Balade Minérale — a mineral stroll — pulls organic Müller-Thurgau and Bacchus grapes together with oyster shells, dulse seaweed from the North Sea coast, Douglas fir needles, and hand-picked gooseberry. Skins cold-macerated in kombucha to extract tannin and structure. The result tastes like a walk along the Dutch shoreline: briny, green, precise. No alcohol extracted. Nothing removed. Just ingredients and time.

Organic Müller-Thurgau and Bacchus grape juice cold-macerated with kombucha, then infused with oyster shells, dulse seaweed, green gooseberry, Douglas fir needles, and oak. Lacto-fermentation and wild-yeast techniques. No dealcoholisation — under 0.5% ABV naturally. Unfiltered. Vegan. Gluten-free. No added sugars or preservatives. ⚠ Contains traces of shellfish.

Serve well chilled, around 6–8°C. Put it in the fridge for 30 minutes before opening. Already cold? Open and pour straight away.

No sediment, no decanting needed. Fresh and ready.
