Grape-Carbonated Mineral Water
Champagne-like bubbles, crafted through the art of fermentation
Muller-Thurgau 2022
Carbonated with natural CO2 captured from the fermentation of Muller Thurgau grapes
As grapes ferment into wine, a cloud of natural CO₂ rises and some of it escapes into the air. Instead of letting it vanish, we recover it and give it a second life. This unique process not only connects Balbin water to the region’s winemaking heritage but also brings extraordinary texture to every sip.
Champagne-like Bubbles
Extraordinary sparkle and elegant taste for the finest dining occasions
Balbin Sparkling water presents microfine bubbles reminiscent of the texture of prime champagnes, thanks to the use of natural CO2. Unlike purified gas from the chemical industry, it avoids harsh acidity, preserving a smooth, rounded profile in Balbin water.
Craftsmanship
The true pinnacle of centuries-old traditions & contemporary craftsmanship
Embracing our South Moravian heritage, we have honoured the artistry of winemaking by integrating its cherished traditions into our sparkling water. Not only does our water carry the provenance of its pristine source, but now our bubbles do as well, fostering a deeper connection to the environment and bridging the worlds of water and winemaking.

CO₂ released during fermentation would otherwise escape unused into the atmosphere. By recovering it from local vineyards and bringing it into Balbin water, we close that loop.
Healthier, non-alcoholic alternative to traditional celebratory beverages.
"The sparkling version is extraordinary with lots of small bubbles that give the water structure and mouthfeel but in a silent way.. A truly epicurean experience with water for fine dining and celebration."

Pioneering a sparkling water revolution was not our goal, but a by-product of our relentless philosophy
The story behind Balbin is one of passion, persistence, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Dissatisfied with the flat, industrial taste imparted by conventional beverage-grade CO2, our founder embarked on a mission to find a better way. For half a year, she crisscrossed the country, visiting countless beverage manufacturers, only to be told the same thing—industrial CO2 was the standard, and no one offered an alternative.
The answer was found not in industry, but in nature — in the vineyards of South Moravia, where the ancient craft of winemaking and the living science of fermentation converge. In 2023, our founder discovered something no one had yet brought to mineral water: a CO₂ so fragrant, so alive, so unlike anything the beverage world had known, that it would redefine what sparkling water could be. Microfine bubbles with a provenance. A sparkle that carried within it the breath of wine.
