CHANDON Introduces a Fresh Line of Ready-to-Serve Spritz Cocktails

On April 8, 2026, CHANDON, the renowned sparkling wine producer, announced the launch of its latest innovation: a ready-to-serve Spritz collection. This new lineup promises to elevate cocktail experiences for enthusiasts and casual consumers alike.

A Legacy of Sparkle

Founded in 1959, CHANDON has been at the forefront of crafting sparkling wines across various global terroirs including Argentina, Brazil, California, Australia, and China. With a legacy of continual exploration and innovation in the world of bubbles, CHANDON is now extending its expertise into the cocktail realm. The Spritz collection embodies the result of years of dedication to not just producing wine but to reimagining how these wines can be enjoyed.

The New Spritz Collection

The new CHANDON Spritz collection offers three unique cocktails, each with its own distinctive set of flavors and alcohol by volume (ABV). The collection consists of:

• - Orange Peel & Spices at 11.5% ABV, providing a subtly bitter profile,
• - Berries & Hibiscus, and
• - Lemon & Verbena, both presenting at a refreshing 6% ABV.

Designed for effortless enjoyment, these ready-to-serve cocktails promise a delightful treat for all occasions, be it a casual gathering or an elegant celebration.

Craftsmanship and Collaboration

The creation of this collection is a collaborative effort bringing together seasoned experts from the CHANDON family. Ana Paula Bartolucci, the Cellar Master of CHANDON Argentina, along with Pauline Lhote, the Director of Oenology and Vineyards in California, joined forces with renowned mixologist Inés de los Santos, the owner of the acclaimed bar Cochinchina, which ranked #26 in the World’s 50 Best Bars 2025. This expert team worked diligently to ensure that each component of the cocktails reflects the high-quality standards of CHANDON wines.

Years of Experimentation

Development of the Spritz cocktails was a meticulous process involving 179 trials over six years to achieve the perfect balance of flavors. Utilizing musts and sparkling wines sourced from the exceptional Mendoza region, which is conducive to producing fresh and vibrant flavors, CHANDON experimented with an array of fresh fruits, herbs, and spices. Each cocktail features natural aromas extracted through botanical maceration methods. Ingredients include organic lemons and oranges, delectable Patagonia raspberries, aromatic hibiscus, and fragrant lemon verbena.

Low Sugar, High Flavor

A standout feature of the two lower-alcohol beverages is that they are crafted without any dealcoholizing process. Utilizing Muscat grapes that are low in sugar and harvested early, the fermentation process was halted to keep the alcohol at a modest 6% ABV while blending in natural flavors to achieve a refreshing taste.

Availability

The CHANDON Spritz Cocktail collection is ready to make its debut across Europe at leading wine merchants, bars, and outdoor terraces. The Orange Peel & Spices variant is already available, while Lemon & Verbena and Berries & Hibiscus will launch as a preview during the prestigious Roland-Garros Tournament. Pricing is set at approximately €19.90 in wine shops and €49-59 on restaurant menus.

Responsible Enjoyment

As with any alcoholic beverage, CHANDON emphasizes the importance of responsible consumption. Their enticing new cocktails are set to make waves in the drink market, offering diverse flavors for every palate while staying true to CHANDON's commitment to quality.

The innovative Spritz collection is not just a beverage; it represents a cultural moment celebrating the fusion of winemaking expertise and mixology, promising delightful refreshment for everyone who indulges. Cheers to new beginnings and fresh experiences with CHANDON's latest offerings!
