Evoking the first sip of sun, CHANDON Garden Spritz is ready to serve and ready to share; just chill, uncork and pour, for effortless moments of connection. It’s naturally delicious and well balanced between sweet and bitter – all you need to add is 3 ice cubes, a slice of dried orange and a sprig of rosemary or stick of cinnamon, for the perfect toast among friends.

The result of four years of experimentation and over 60 recipe trials, CHANDON Garden Spritz is expertly crafted to create a natural, balanced aperitif, which combines CHANDON’s award-winning Brut sparkling with its own artisanal bitter orange liqueur. With no artificial flavours or colours and up to 50% less sugar than an ordinary spritz, it offers an elevated yet uncomplicated spritz experience for the season.

“Noticing the increasing demand for aperitif’s, we spent four years developing the perfect tipple that evokes those transporting moments of discovery and community among friends in the sun,” says Sibylle Scherer, President of CHANDON. “Whether it’s soaking up the hints of warmth at the beginning of Spring, or late evening rays in the Summer, we all need something effortless, uncomplicated and delicious to share with friends and neighbours, so we’re elated with this foray into a new category, resulting in an elevated spritz experience, with CHANDON Garden Spritz.”

CHANDON’s expert winemakers in Mendoza, Argentina, draw on a rich heritage and pioneering spirit that extends to all steps in the winemaking process. CHANDON Garden Spritz uses only locally sourced, responsibly grown and sustainably farmed fresh Valencia oranges and grapes. The orange peels are hand-extracted and free from residual pesticides and orange juice is distributed to local schools, whilst 5 tonnes of waste is reused as compost in its vineyards.
