It consists of quince juice, apple juice, and carbon dioxide, contains 0% alcohol according to the manufacturer, and comes in a 0.75l sparkling wine bottle. Not a sparkling wine, not an apple soda – a dry aperitif made from pure juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFruit Secco Apple Quince by van Nahmen\u003c\/strong\u003e is called \"Frucht-Secco Apfel-Quitte Bio\" (Organic Fruit Secco Apple Quince) by the manufacturer. Behind the name lies a cuvée of two direct juices, which only becomes a secco through the added carbon dioxide. The word \"Secco\" is Italian and means dry, which fits this variety particularly well. According to the manufacturer's FAQ, the press house does not add any sugar or water either; there is nothing in the glass but fruit. It is bottled in sparkling wine bottles because van Nahmen explicitly sees this secco as an alternative to sparkling wine. Hardly anyone bites into a raw quince; it is hard and tart. It is precisely this tartness that makes it so valuable in juice: together with the apple, it results in a glass that tastes dry and yet entirely like fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fruit Secco Apple Quince tastes dry and fruity, with the tart acidity of the quince and the sweet freshness of the apple. It glows golden yellow in the glass, with fine bubbles rising. The nose reveals autumn apples and lemon zest, with a hint of candied ginger behind them. With a little air, quiet notes of jasmine and mint emerge, as described in the manufacturer's tasting notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the quince takes over first. It brings acidity and a pleasant tartness reminiscent of the fruit's skin. The apple provides a delicate sweetness underneath and makes the whole thing juicy. The carbonation carries both; it feels fresh rather than harsh. In the finish, the secco remains dry and tart, with the sweetness fading away early. The manufacturer summarizes the profile in two terms: delicate sweetness and crisp tartness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmong van Nahmen's four fruit seccos, this is, according to the manufacturer, the variety for those who prefer it tarter and drier. Anyone expecting a juicy, sweet fruit soda will find it too intense. For everyone else, it plays a similar role at the table as a dry sparkling wine, just with fruit as the foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrink the secco well chilled at 8 to 10 °C (46–50 °F), preferably from a sparkling wine glass. As an aperitif, it opens the evening, and it replaces sparkling wine for toasts. According to the manufacturer, it also pairs well with crustaceans and seafood. Fried shrimp with garlic and parsley are a good example, as is a crab sandwich or a salad with crayfish. The quince acidity acts like a squeeze of lemon over the plate here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second stage is the sweet side of the meal. Van Nahmen recommends the secco with fruits and desserts; the tasting note mentions the coffee table with fruit cake and moderately sweet desserts. An apple pie with shortcrust pastry, a plum sheet cake, or a quark cream with stewed pears go well with it. The tart finish clears the palate after every bite. This way, one bottle can accompany an entire non-alcoholic menu: first the shrimp as an appetizer, later the cake with coffee. Thus, a single variety in the fridge is enough for the whole evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also suitable for Sunday brunch, alongside fruit salad, scrambled eggs, and fresh bread. Keep an opened bottle back in the fridge.

In 1917, Wilhelm van Nahmen founded the \"Rheinische Apfelkrautfabrik\" (Rhenish Apple Butter Factory) in Hamminkeln and cooked apple and beet syrup during the famine at the end of the First World War. Juice production was added from 1930 onwards under his son of the same name. In 1990, Rainer van Nahmen took over the management. In 2005, Dr. Peter van Nahmen joined the management; today he runs the press house together with his wife, Sabine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe press house states that it preferably works with fruit from old meadow orchards in the Lower Rhine and Münsterland regions. They press all local fruit themselves. In such orchards, high-trunk trees are loosely distributed in the grassland, often for decades. According to van Nahmen, there are over 200 old fruit varieties in the Lower Rhine region alone, and the press house is committed to their preservation. Since 2007, single-variety juices have been at the core of the range, and these direct juices are also used to create the fruit seccos. Van Nahmen defines the blend anew each year, using selected fruit varieties from that specific vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Apple Quince, the press house uses quince and apple juice from controlled organic cultivation. The organic inspection body is DE-ÖKO-007, and the EU organic logo is on the bottle. According to the manufacturer, the secco is also vegan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Apple Quince Secco is for everyone looking for a dry, sophisticated glass for toasting while abstaining from alcohol. It fits weddings, confirmations, and milestone birthdays, as well as Sunday brunch and festive meals with seafood. It also works well on New Year's Eve alongside sparkling wine bottles when everyone raises their glasses at midnight. As a host, place it next to the sparkling wine so every guest has something suitable in their glass. As a gift, it is a great choice for people who enjoy cooking and would otherwise open white wine.

Direct juice means: The fruit is pressed, and the fresh juice is preserved and bottled. There is no detour through concentrate or dilution. Single-variety also means that there is only one type of cherry in the bottle. The name is fitting: \"Morellen\" is an old word for sour cherries. Van Nahmen mixes acidic fruit like rhubarb or currants with water and sugar to make nectar. In the case of Morellenfeuer, the manufacturer notes that the delicate aroma and mild acidity allow for a pure juice. Sunday brings a roast to the table; adults reach for the red wine, and those who have to drive get water. This bottle is there to fill exactly that gap. For years, it has been one of our most popular juices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMorellenfeuer tastes delicately tart and dry, with a subtle sweetness in the background. That is how the manufacturer describes it, and that is how it drinks. The variety bears large fruit with a sweet-sour profile. In the glass, it is above all the freshness that comes through; the sweetness remains restrained and never pushes to the forefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is precisely this restraint that makes the juice so versatile. It comes across more like a dry red wine than a breakfast juice. The acidity is present, but refined; it runs through the entire sip and keeps the palate alert. A clear cherry note remains at the end, without any sticky sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause only one variety and one vintage end up in the bottle, the juice does not taste the same every year. According to the manufacturer, the intensity of the acidity varies from vintage to vintage, depending on what the harvest brings. Anyone expecting a thick, sweet cherry nectar will find it too tart. For everyone else, that is exactly the appeal: a cherry juice with character that reveals itself a little differently each year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is best to use Morellenfeuer in the same way you would a dry red wine. Van Nahmen compares it to a Bordeaux or Chianti when dining. Its ideal serving temperature is 14 to 16 °C (57–61 °F), significantly warmer than other juices. Therefore, take the bottle out of the refrigerator a while before eating. It is most intense when served pure; diluted 2:1 with still water, it becomes lighter and is suitable for lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the manufacturer, it goes well with beef, lamb, and game, as well as duck, goose, and mushroom dishes. The cuisine can be German, French, or Mediterranean. The tasting notes mention Christmas goose, Bistecca Fiorentina, and lamb. Think of a goose leg with red cabbage and dumplings, a rack of lamb with rosemary potatoes, or a venison ragout in autumn. The acidity cuts through the fat, and the cherry fruit complements dark sauces. A Bistecca Fiorentina is a thick beef steak, grilled quickly over high heat with rosemary and olive oil. In Tuscany, a red wine is traditionally served with this; here, the cherry juice takes on that role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also pairs well with a mushroom risotto or pan-seared porcini mushrooms because it complements earthy flavors with fruit.

The Morellenfeuer variety originated in the 20th century as a cross between the Ostheimer Weichsel and the \"Früheste der Mark\" variety. It ripens a few weeks later than other sour cherry varieties and bears large fruits. The fact that the cherries come from small farms fits the philosophy of the pressery: they state they rely on short transport routes and visit their suppliers regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressing takes place in Hamminkeln.

Under his leadership, single-variety juices were added to the range starting in 2007, following the idea of \"juice as an indulgence.\" Morellenfeuer stands alongside apple varieties like Roter Sternrenette, Cox Orange, or Schöner von Boskoop, and plums like the Stromberger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe juice is preserved through flash pasteurization.

The region is located in northern Italy, between the Po River and the Adriatic Sea, surrounding Bologna, and is famous for its fruit growing. The fruit is picked by hand, in at least five passes according to the manufacturer.

What do I serve with duck breast if someone doesn't want red wine? The manufacturer's tasting note puts it clearly: this juice can replace not-too-heavy red wines. Direct juice means that the fruit is pressed and the juice is bottled directly, without the detour of a concentrate. Van Nahmen refers to this as \"mother juice,\" i.e., the pure, undiluted juice of the fruit.

At lunch on the family table, half nectar and half mineral water, it pairs with almost anything on the plate. The producer recommends it as a spritzer, an all-rounder for a meal. In a nectar, water and sugar are added to the fruit juice. This makes sense for black currants, as their juice is so acidic that it would be difficult to drink pure. Therefore, the fruit content is at least one-third. That is enough for the dark berry to set the tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe producer describes a sweet, juicy, and ripe fruit taste with a finely tart aroma.

It is precisely this acidity that gives the nectar its vibrancy. Served pure, it is bold and concentrated; as a spritzer, it becomes lighter and fresher. Those who do not like the strong acidity of black currants will find it too intense even as a spritzer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrink it at 12 to 14 °C, not ice-cold.

Think of pork fillet with cream sauce, a Sunday roast chicken, or pasta with mushrooms. Served pure, it belongs with dessert: the tasting notes mention desserts with dark chocolate and Rote Grütze (red berry pudding).

According to the producer, grandfather Wilhelm van Nahmen was already pressing black currants into this nectar. The press itself was founded in 1917 as a Rhenish apple butter factory in Hamminkeln. From 1930, juice production using local fruit was added. Since then, the assortment has grown generation by generation to include single-varietal juices and sparkling fruit seccos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the fourth generation runs the business in Hamminkeln: Dr. Peter van Nahmen has managed the private press since 2005, together with his wife Sabine. The black currant nectar has remained in the assortment throughout. It is preserved by flash pasteurization. Unopened, it has a shelf life of at least two years according to the producer, making it a good supply for the cellar. The manufacturer states that the nectars contain no artificial colors or preservatives; the color comes solely from the berry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor families looking for a lunch table spritzer that tastes like more than just apple.
