A sparkling aromatic expression of wine, in its most luminous form, water. Layered and expressive. Experience depth without weight.
An experience that exists between worlds. Conceived by Balbin in 2025, Ester Water opened a new chapter in fine water. Think of the moment you lift a glass of wine or Champagne, and pause before the first sip. The stem cool in your hand, the subtle swirl, the bouquet rising as you bring it to your nose. That first inhalation, when the aromas unfold and the mind opens to their nuance.
Free from alcohol, sugar, and tannin, Ester Water carries the aromatic world of wine in its most undistracted form. It does not compete with wine — it exists alongside it, light enough to complement the finest dishes, complex enough to hold its own. A new kind of presence at the table. Entirely its own.

Aromas
Wine fermentation is alive with aroma: fruity, floral, citrusy, and complex.
Think ripe pear, blueberry, jasmine, the faintest trace of cocoa. As fermentation unfolds, these aromas are born; some imprint the wine, others escape with CO₂. Once lost to the air, wine's fleeting soul now lives on in Ester Water.
The Ester® Collection
An evolving series of Ester Waters imprinted with aromas collected from select South Moravian wines.
The Ester Collection is a tribute to terroir and craftsmanship — each variant shaped by its vintage, grape variety, and winery. New editions are not bound to a harvest; we unveil only curated expressions worthy of celebration.
Selection I
Folklore in Bloom
The inaugural Selection of the Ester Collection, crafted in a limited series of 10,000 bottles, is a tribute to South Moravian tradition. Adorned with folklore-inspired artwork by Jan Pisarik, each bottle reflects the soul of our heritage—the enduring spirit from which Ester Water was born.
Ester Water is always experienced uniquely. Scent is deeply personal, shaped by memories and emotion. The signature aromas remain but the story they tell is yours to discover.
Wine-making craftsmanship reimagined in Ester Water
Natural Wine Aromas
Carbonated with natural, aromatic CO2 captured from grape fermentation
Ester Water is born at the source of fermentation itself — where CO₂, carrying the living aromas of wine, is captured and brought into Balbin's artesian water. What arrives is both a bouquet and a sparkle: aromas that unfold with each pour, bubbles fine and lasting, reminiscent of champagne. Each expression is distinct, the Ester Collection refined for aromatic depth and complexity, our Sparkling Water for a clean, versatile clarity.
Craftsmanship
The finest expression of heritage & modern artistry
From vine cultivation to the final notes of fermentation, every choice made in the winery shapes the aromatic character of what becomes Ester Water. Each edition is curated for the distinctiveness of its craft and the complexity of what its fermentation yields. The Ester Collection is where winemaking legacy, natural origin and sensory elegance converge.

"Delicious.
It bursts with natural ripe grape essence.
A fantastic pairing with our sushi and sashimi selection at Golden Eye, or the rabbit ballotine at Zlatá Praha."
