Produced without fermentation, vegan, allergen-free, with 0.0% alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGezwitscher No 10\u003c\/strong\u003e is the non-alcoholic Secco that Pica Pica crafts from the fruit of Saarland meadow orchards. The flavor profile is defined by the gooseberry—the fruit that once hung on every garden fence and is now rarely planted. Apple and grape provide a foundation, a herbal infusion gives it a lift, and the 0.75-l bottle is sealed with a natural cork under a wire hood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe forgotten fruit from the garden fence\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gooseberry brings a bright, almost green acidity that keeps the apple lively and keeps the Secco from becoming too sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere was a time when every second garden had a gooseberry bush—thorny, difficult to pick, and full of hairy spheres in June. Then it disappeared from gardens, and today you have to search for it. It has survived in the old meadows of the Saarland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdded to this are lemon verbena and meadowsweet, two herbs with their own distinct characters. The verbena smells like lemon but without the sharpness, and the meadowsweet like almond and honey—in the Middle Ages, it was used to spice mead, which is why it is still known as \"meadwort\" in English today. Together, they lay a delicate trail of herbs beneath the fruit, which is precisely what turns a juice into an evening beverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChilled with trout, summer salad, and rhubarb cake\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour No 10 into a glass at eight to ten degrees Celsius; cold enough for the acidity of the gooseberry and warm enough for the herbs to come through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCured trout pairs well with it, as does a summer salad with melon and mint, and a piece of rhubarb cake in the afternoon finds the right partner in it. Where a juice would be too heavy and water too simple, this Secco hits the perfect middle ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are those evenings when someone at the table doesn't want to drink or isn't allowed to, while everyone else reaches for a bottle. With Gezwitscher, that difference disappears because this glass also has a story to tell.

The beautiful irony is that something is now being created from this that contains no alcohol at all, yet still earns its place in a heavy bottle with a wire hood. The substitute wine has made it to the status of an aperitif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing is fermented for the Gezwitscher; the carbonation is added to the finished juice. If any tartrate settles at the bottom of the bottle, those are natural crystals from the fruit—just leave the last sip in the glass.
