CHANDON Launches Innovative Ready-to-Serve Spritz Cocktails for Refreshing Enjoyment

CHANDON's New Spritz Collection: A Refreshing Twist on Cocktails

Since its establishment in 1959, CHANDON has been at the forefront of creating sparkling wines from vineyards around the globe. Spanning regions from Argentina to California, Brazil, Australia, and China, CHANDON has become one of the largest sparkling wine producers worldwide. This legacy of innovation has evolved with their latest offering: a fresh collection of ready-to-serve Spritz cocktails.

Introducing a Trio of Sparkling Cocktails

The CHANDON Spritz Collection presents a new trio of effervescent cocktails designed for convenience and enjoyment. Each variant boasts unique flavor profiles that range from the subtly aromatic Orange Peel Spices containing 11.5% alcohol by volume, to the vibrant and tangy Berries Hibiscus and Lemon Verbena, both crafted with a lower alcohol content of 6%.

This collection is not just about refreshing drinks; it reflects a harmonious collaboration among industry experts. Leading the charge are Ana Paula Bartolucci, the winemaker from CHANDON Argentina, Pauline Lhote, the Director of Oenology and Viticulture at CHANDON California, and the renowned mixologist Inés de los Santos, owner of the acclaimed Bar Cochinchina, ranked 26th on the list of "The World's 50 Best Bars 2025."

A Journey of Innovation and Taste

The creation of these cocktails was a meticulous process that spanned over six years, involving 179 recipe trials. The team harnessed the ideal terroir of Mendoza, Argentina, ensuring the freshness, ripeness, and acidity essential for crafting quality cocktails. They also explored innovative techniques that include botanical infusions sourced from fresh fruits, herbs, and spices.

Through meticulous experimentation, the team achieved incredibly flavorful botanical macerates, extracting essences from organic lemons and oranges, as well as berries, hibiscus, and lemon verbena. The process distinguished itself by incorporating a careful fermentation technique that bypasses traditional alcohol removal methods, allowing for a more genuine flavor profile.

Ana Paula Bartolucci commented, "We developed new cocktails without resorting to distillation—selecting low-sugar Muscat grapes harvested early in the season. This approach allowed us to halt fermentation at just the right moment, resulting in delightful low-alcohol Spritz cocktails."

Availability and Pricing

CHANDON Spritz Orange Peel Spices is already available throughout Europe in select wine shops, bars, and restaurants. Meanwhile, the Lemon Verbena and Berries Hibiscus variants will take center stage during the upcoming Roland-Garros tournament and can also be found on online sales platforms. Pricing for the cocktails varies: expect to pay around €19.90 in retail settings, with glass prices ranging from €12 to €13, while dining establishments offer bottles between €49 and €59.

With this new line of Spritz cocktails, CHANDON continues to expand its rich legacy, inviting consumers to indulge in a convenient and flavorful drinking experience. As always, the brand emphasizes responsible enjoyment, reminding customers that while these sparkling creations offer delightful refreshment, moderation is key.

Conclusion

The launch of the CHANDON Spritz Collection signifies a new chapter not only in creating exquisite cocktails but also in honoring the brand's commitment to innovation and quality. Whether relaxing at home or socializing with friends, these ready-to-serve Spritzes are an ideal choice for any occasion.
