Chandon Garden Spritz is a ready-to-serve sparkling aperitif from the Argentine arm of the Chandon house, combining a dry sparkling wine with an artisanal bitter orange liqueur. The base is the house's dry sparkling wine cuvée, crafted from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sémillon grapes grown at an altitude of around 1,000 metres at the estate in Mendoza, Argentina. The local terroir and climate favour freshness, ripeness and acidity in the fruit. The wine is made using the Charmat method with a long, slow fermentation that preserves the vibrancy of the fruit. To this base a homemade bitter orange liqueur is added. It is produced from fully ripe Valencia oranges grown on a pesticide-free, sustainable farm run by the same family for three generations. After peeling, some of the skins are dried in an oven and the dried skins are combined with fresh ones, then macerated in grape brandy together with selected herbs and spices. The profile is dominated by bitter orange and a layer of spice, with a crisp, refreshing accent. This is an aperitif with a bitter-sweet balance, inspired by the Argentine fondness for bitter flavours. The recipe was created with the local penchant for bitter aromas in mind, such as yerba mate and Fernet. No artificial flavourings or colourings are used in the production process. The strength of the drink is 11.5%. Chandon Garden Spritz is served chilled, straight from the bottle. It is recommended to pour 180 ml of the drink and add 3 to 4 ice cubes to reach a serving temperature of 7–8°C. As a garnish, a slice of dried orange and a sprig of rosemary are suggested, which highlight the natural citrus and spicy character. As a pairing, cheese boards work well, whose bold notes create an aromatic contrast, artisanal cured meats, whose rich flavour balances the bitterness of the orange, and dried fruits, which complement the spicy accents with sweetness.
