The family business Privatkelterei Van Nahmen has its origins in 1917, when great-grandfather Wilhelm van Nahmen started the company with the production of apple syrup. Since the 1930s, people have specialized in fruit juices and we also carry an extensive range of gastronomic high-quality non-alcoholic fruit juices, Frucht-Secco's and Sparkling Juicy Tea from the Chateau Petrus under the Fruit juices.

By the way, we are not talking about just fruit juices here, but about the Grandcru among fruit juices. It is not surprising that you can also find these products in the high-end catering industry and even in 2 and 3* restaurants such as De Librije. The hand-picked fruit comes directly from the orchards and is pressed and processed by Van Nahmen itself, without any additional additives. Only the coolest fruit qualifies. Farmers are expected to keep the fruit hanging on the tree for as long as possible. According to owner Peter Van Nahmen, this slow food concept contributes to the quality of the juice. “Let the tree decide when the fruit is ripest. Only when the tree is about to release and drop the fruit is it time to harvest. At that point, the fruit is full of flavor and aroma. And you can taste that in the juice.

For his juices, Peter uses one variety per type of fruit as much as possible. Indeed, just like the monovarietal wines made from one grape variety. Van Nahmen likes to experiment with traditional fruit varieties. The juice manufacturer encourages farmers to also grow fruit varieties that are less popular with the large supermarkets. The ancient apple variety Sternrenette (known to us as the star apple, the classic Christmas apple), for example, only grows in a few orchards. The taste of this juice is stronger and fresher than the taste of 'regular' apple juice, which is made from a mix of apple varieties. Van Nahmen now offers a range of nearly thirty different juices, often singe varietal, sometimes a blend. And very special, also from well-known wine grapes such as Dornfelder and Riesling. Serving tip? Pour into a nice wine glass, possibly with sparkling spring water or sparkling wines such as Champagne, Cava or Prosecco (ratio 1:1). This is certainly a very good alternative to wine when it comes to taste, but certainly for non-alcoholic wine because unintentionally due to the fermentation process in non-alcoholic wine flavors disappear and character disappears and that is certainly not the case with this Riesling fruit juice. 0% alcohol, 100% flavour.
