Kubru and the Frey winery from Essingen in the Palatinate have created together a new treasure: Delicious ice wine pearls filled with Chardonnay ice wine


The top chefs in the kitchens of gourmet restaurants succeeded for the first time in shaping aromas as pearls. Since then Kubru has expanded the variety of edible pearls by a few variations and produces them with exquisite wines, liqueurs, fruit essences and much more. With the latest creation, tradition meets innovation: ice wine in gourmet pearls.

As the name suggests, ice wine is something special. It demands a lot of effort from its producer and also a good portion of willingness to take risks. The grapes for the special drop can only be harvested at a temperature of -7 degrees Celsius. So only very late in the year – when other winegrowers have virtually everything in their cellars.

Unfortunately such low temperatures due to global warming are no longer a matter of course in our latitudes. In former times the grapes could be harvested in December. Last year Jürgen Frey could harvest his grapes not until January – almost too late to find healthy grapes on the stock. And if one considers the quantity of grapes, it is only 10 percent of what a “normal” winegrower harvests. So what drives an experienced winegrower to expose himself to such strains and risks?

Crepes with elderflower pearls

It all began in 1974, when the Frey winery, run by the family, shifted exclusively to the production of sweet wines. In Essingen in the Southern Palatinate, not far from Landau, the brothers Jürgen and Peter Frey have been producing sweet dessert wines of top rank on 12 hectares since then. These include Beerenauslesen, Trockenbeerenauslesen and the aforementioned ice wines.

Their success proves them right. Because already the longer they win many prizes and awards with their noble wines. One could almost think that this is not difficult either, because they are the only winegrowers in Germany – and probably even worldwide – who exclusively produce noble sweet wines.

But that is wrong. Because Jürgen Frey, as charismatic as his wines, likes to go new ways. “It’s allowed what tastes good”, is his motto.

For example, he has made a delicious ice wine from Chardonnay, a grape variety that is not necessarily considered for ice wine at first glance. According to his passion to create special moments of taste – good enough to offer his customers the well-known quality.

These were also the similarities that brought Jürgen Frey together with the creative minds of Kubru. Kubru and Frey both supply the same clientele: star restaurants and connoisseurs all over the world who love something special. Frey wines are also particularly sought-after on the other side of the globe: 40 percent of production goes to China alone.

Together they created something completely new: gourmet pearls filled with Chardonnay ice wine. The new ice wine pearls are particularly popular because of their distinct sweetness accompanied by the floral notes of Chardonnay. Because the grape must has a comparatively high sugar content after pressing, the yeast usually cannot completely convert this sugar into alcohol. This explains the high natural residual sugar content with a relatively low alcohol content of about seven percent by volume.

“Enjoying the pearls makes you feel like being in an orchard in autumn,” says Jürgen Frey about the exciting new combination of his premium ice wine, which is now presented to connoisseurs in a new form – small, round and delicious.

That’s why it won’t be long before the ice wine pearls find their way into gourmet restaurants or the kitchens of private connoisseurs and take their place on refined desserts or serve as sweet accents in tasty mixed drinks.

Fruity mandarin gin liqueur from Mallorca’s Tramuntana mountains now also available as gourmet pearls

Fruity mandarins from Sóller together with herbs from the Tramuntana mountains:
The new Cabraboc gin pearls combine Mallorca’s special aromas to create a culinary experience.

In the northwest of the sunny island of Mallorca is the mighty Tramuntana mountain range. And between these mountains and the coast – somewhat hidden and formerly only accessible via winding mountain roads – lies the town of Sóller.

The valley of Sóller has always been called the Orange Valley because of its numerous orange, mandarin and citrus plantations.

This is probably one reason why in 2012 a German-Mallorquin trio from Sóller fulfilled a dream and founded the company “Spirit of the Island”. The aim: to create special gins that combine the herbal and fruit flavours of the island.

They named their brand “Cabraboc” after the goats that live in the surrounding mountains and for whom the aromatic mountain herbs are also very popular. That’s why every bottle is adorned with the original and distinctive head of the Tramuntana goat.

Meanwhile the Gins enjoy not only on the island great popularity. Just one proof: Cabraboc is the official sponsor of the Balearic Barkeepers Association and is used in their barkeep competitions.

A speciality among the Cabraboc gins is the Mandarina Gin Liquer – a sophisticated interpretation of the classic Sloe gin supplemented with mandarin fruit aromas.

First, the spicy gin, which is distilled with herbs from the mountains and of course with juniper, is mixed with sloe berries. They are the essential ingredient and eponym of the name. The intense aromas of the Sóller mandarins round off the gin.

Whoever has tried this authentic gin – strictly speaking more liqueur than gin – will not forget it again.

That’s why we decided to use the Cabraboc Mandarina Gin Liquer for our pearls. The complex mixture of pleasant sweetness, refreshing fruit acidity, the aroma of the mandarin and the intense juniper notes are particularly effective when concentrated in small pearl form.

The Cabraboc pearls are an absolute highlight on desserts, fruits, ice cream, cocktails and mixed drinks, not only in terms of taste, but also visually.

We are delighted that we have found another innovative partner in Cabraboc and the team from “Spirit of the Island”, who shares and passes on our passion for special culinary experiences and products.
