THE STORY

Sven Leiner didn't want to dealcoholise anything. He wanted fermentation — the complexity, the acidity, the living quality — without the alcohol. The Lemon Thyme is the result: kombucha-fermented white grape juice, white beet, ginger, hay extract, bay leaf, and lemon thyme. Everything goes through a multi-strain kombucha culture in the cellar where Riesling and Spätburgunder usually age. The lemon thyme is unmistakable — citric, herbal, finely salty. Demeter certified. Under 0.5% ABV and better with food than most of what's in the glass next to it.
