Feral No. 6 White - Linden Honey Fennel 0%

Producer Feral

Feral is a producer fully focused on developing gastronomic, non-alcoholic beverages with a clear origin and identity. The collaboration with top chef Norbert Niederkofler of the three-Michelin-star restaurant Atelier Moessmer underscores this ambition. Both parties share a vision in which local ingredients, seasonal influences, and purity take center stage. Working from the Alpine region, they utilize raw materials sourced directly from the landscape, employing fermentation and infusion to create complexity and structure without alcohol. This results in beverages that function at the table not as a replacement, but as a full-fledged alternative.

Origin, ingredients and style

Feral Nº6 is based on white beetroot, an ingredient that naturally possesses a subtle sweetness and earthy depth. The ingredients used come from the Alpine region, where the climate and soil ensure a distinctly pure character. Working with local and seasonal products creates a drink that is strongly connected to its origins. The addition of linden blossom and fennel provides an aromatic and slightly spicy profile, while honey and acidity ensure balance and tension.

Production and assembly

The base of this drink consists of white beetroot juice that undergoes controlled lactic acid fermentation. This process ensures freshness and structure without the need to add sugar. Subsequently, the drink is built up with an infusion of linden blossom and fennel, complemented by honey, verjus, and apple cider vinegar. This combination creates a layered whole in which sweetness, acidity, and spiciness are in balance. The method focuses on precision and harmony, comparable to the approach in gastronomy.

Color, smell and taste

In the glass, Feral Nº6 has a clear, light golden colour. The nose is refined and aromatic, with floral notes of linden blossom, fresh accents of apple, and a subtle spiciness of fennel. On the palate, the balance between soft roundness and fresh tension is immediately apparent. The structure is light and precise, with a refined acidity that keeps the whole lively. The influence of lactic acid fermentation imparts a slightly savory character, providing extra depth. The finish is clean, fresh, and slightly spicy, with a persistent, elegant tension.

Development and drinking window

This non-alcoholic drink is meant to be enjoyed young and fresh. The balance between floral notes, acidity, and light spiciness is best appreciated in the first period after bottling. Serving slightly chilled enhances the freshness and precision of the whole.
