Description
NON 2 | Caramelised Pear & Kombu is a gastronomic take on zero‑alcohol sparkling wines, designed for mindful celebrations and pregnancy-safe enjoyment. Caramelised pears are roasted, sous‑vide until richly flavored, then blended with verjus, black tea, kombu brine, agave, vanilla, clove, cardamom, ginger, star anise, and peppercorn :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}. The result is a layered sip—smooth, umami‑rich, and spice‑tinged—with a refreshing mineral core.
