What is fermentation?

Fermentation is the key to a more intense enjoyment experience.

Fermentation is the targeted use of microorganisms to transform food. In the past, it was mainly used for preservation, but today fermentation is being rediscovered. It creates interesting aromas and unusual flavors that delight our palates.

For Native Grape, grape juice is fermented using kombucha cultures. This mixed culture consists of yeasts and lactic acid and acetic acid bacteria. This process produces valuable organic acids, enzymatic compounds for splitting carbohydrates and sparkling carbon dioxide, which make up the uniquely complex taste of Native Grape.
