CHANDON Spritz Orange Peel & Spices

A sparkling, ready-to-drink aperitif where Argentine sparkling wine meets bittersweet orange peel, botanicals, and carefully selected spices. Pour generously over ice for a lively spritz with fresh citrus tension, spicy depth, and just the right amount of bitterness.

The two main components originate from different parts of Argentina.

  • Sparkling wine from Argentina: The base is made from Argentine sparkling wine, stemming from the expertise CHANDON has built in the country since 1959.
  • Valencia oranges from Tucumán: The aromatic oranges grow on a family farm in Tucumán, in northwestern Argentina. The bittersweet peels are primarily used for the orange macerate.
  • Circular use: The juice from the oranges is shared with local institutions. Remaining plant material is composted and returned to the vineyards.

Winemaking and mixology come together here in one fully pre-mixed spritz.

  • Orange macerate: The peels of Valencia oranges are slowly and carefully macerated in grape distillate, allowing their fresh citrus aromas and characteristic bitterness to be extracted.
  • Herbs & spices: A sophisticated combination of botanicals and spices, including cardamom, star anise, and gentian, provides aromatic layering and a spicy-bitter tension.
  • Assemblage: The orange and spice macerate is blended with the sparkling wine and then bottled. This ensures the ratio is already perfectly balanced, so no mixing is required at home.
  • Alcohol content: At 11.5% alcohol, the spritz retains sufficient wine structure and intensity alongside ice, citrus, and the distinct botanicals.

The sparkling wine base consists of 3 grape varieties, each with a clear function within the blend.

  • Chardonnay – Argentina: Chardonnay brings freshness, tension, and an elegant citrus-driven foundation.
  • Pinot Noir – Argentina: Pinot Noir gives the sparkling wine extra structure and depth.
  • Sémillon – Argentina: Sémillon adds roundness and aromatic complexity, beautifully balancing the bitterness of the orange and botanicals.

More about Chandon

The connection to Moët & Chandon dates back to the very origins of CHANDON. Robert-Jean de Vogüé, then president of Moët & Chandon, founded the house in 1959 with the vision of bringing centuries of sparkling wine expertise to new terroirs. The first location was in Mendoza, after which CHANDON expanded to include California, Brazil, Australia, China, and India, among others. Today, CHANDON is part of Moët Hennessy within LVMH and combines that historical background with a distinctly international and innovative style.
