Cul Sec combines old traditions of wine growers with years of foraging for taste. Organic wine grapes, wild herbs, wood, minerals, seaweed and fermentation techniques form the basis of a funky journey along wild mineral cliffs, herbal mown fields and smoky dried berries. A deep and complex terroir from lush nature and our own lab. Drink Cul Sec alcohol-free without any problems!
For years we have played with flavors from our wild landscape. Fermentation of roots, infusions of seeds, solutions of oyster shell: Cul Sec creates a challenging terroir for the palate. With minerals and powerful ingredients, we create a full and complex texture and mouthfeel. A combination of long research and the playground of Fruitslagers in a bottle.
We missed the robust non-alcoholic flavors and textures found in wild nature. Cul Sec is an alternative to good funky natural wine with a little fermented sparkle. Perfect at dinner, as an aperitif or for in the woods. Drink medium chilled, in your favorite wine glass.
We work with organic vintners for healthy soil. Herbs we grow with farmers in regenerative ways, thus naturalizing the landscape. Oysters are harvested along the Breton coast and wood is recycled from old wine barrels. The wilder the landscape, the more flavor!
Rouge en voiture goes toward Pinot noir, gamay in terms of flavor and texture. Think berries, rhubarb, flint, oak, rosemary, cocoa. Flavor notes from the rouge en voiture that go well with cheese, especially the slightly softer cheeses.And of course preferably a cheese board of cheeses from your neighborhood.
With the creamy curly bean, crisply fried, you can make a surprising variation on the classic Caesar in no time. Delicious in combination with funky terroir from L'étable Fumé. With a dressing of rich olive oil and our herb vinegar, complete the salad.
Balad mineral goes perfectly with summer herb salads. A salad is the representation of and around the vegetable garden in any season. Wildflowers and pickled spruce tops finish it off.
But even in the wild, seasons give it flavor. Along the Dutch coastline, all kinds of salty herbs and vegetables grow. For example, check out sea kale, beach beet or sea fennel. And especially use a delicious salty salad.
There are oyster shells dissolved in Balade mineral, which provide an extra mineral palette. This makes the oyster its best companion. Tight acids of green gooseberry and the salty oyster take you on a journey to mineral cliffs. You can just feel that sea breeze howling.
