PURE GRAPE JUICE
Flein is an elegant aperitif or food companion, a special alc-free alternative to a glass of wine.
The grapes for Flein [pronounced ‘fline’] are grown in steep-sloped vineyards and are cultivated and harvested by hand, especially for the production of our juices.
Gently pressed like champagne and pasteurised using the latest technology, Flein enables variety-typical aromas. Flein comes with a surprising freshness, elegance, and lively acidity.
To be enjoyed pure and chilled in a big wine glass!
Pure Grape Juice
Flein is refined from best grapes of three winegrowers from the Alpine region, all of them long-time friends. Each winery produces the high-quality juice in its own cellar and only region-typical grape varieties are used. They are bound by jointly defined quality principles, laid down in a charter: the juices from different grape varieties and origins open up new dimensions of taste.

The producers: Flein is made by friends
Gross & Gross from Südsteiermark presented their first Flein in 2018 as a fine, non-alcoholic alternative to a glass of wine. Other winegrowers have meanwhile joined them, all friends from their student days in Vienna. In 2020, Harald Cronst entered the circle with his Flein from Alto Adige's Cantina Kurtatsch. Sebastian Schmidt from Schmidt am Bodensee followed with the 2021 vintage.

Just their style.

Flein Charter
Common rules are essential. In all friendships.
The Flein Charter contains our principles, which we have worked out together - with the aim of preserving the flavors of the berries in a juice.
Region-typical
grape varieties
Producers only select varieties typical of their region to produce their regional Flein.
Organic
We cultivate our vineyards with products that meet the high standards of organic farming. This is guaranteed by organic certifications and analyses by independent agencies.
Dedicated
vineyards
The grapes for Flein grow in vineyards that have been exclusively selected for juice production only.
A natural product
Flein is all natural, with no artificial additives. This is guaranteed and verified through residue analyses.
Hand-picked
Only hand-picked grapes are used for Flein juices.
Maximum
grape quality
We rely on quality-enhancing methods such as reducing yields and careful cultivation of the vines with a lot of handwork.
Grapes pressed the same
way as for Champagne
At a press yield of 55 per cent, only the best part of the berries is refined into the Flein range. Bitter substances and unripe nuances do not make it into the bottle.
Gently
pasteurised
To preserve the flavours typical of each variety, we rely on a new pasteurisation process at lower temperatures. The cold grape juice is bottled, then briefly heated and quickly cooled again.
Towards a more
organic farming
We support grape suppliers in their conversion to organic viticulture. This is our way of contributing to a more sustainable agriculture.
Sugar and acidity
balance
Choosing both the right vineyard plot as well as ideal harvest time is crucial to preserving freshness, elegance and a vibrant acidity in the juice.
Flein Fizz
The sparkling version of Flein may also come as a blend of region-typical grape varieties. To achieve an elegant ‘fizz’, carbonic acid may be used as the only permitted additive.
Last but not least:
Flein is
non-alcoholic
Flein: a fine alternative to wine
On the lookout for an non-alcoholic alternative to the much-loved glass of wine I kept asking myself: Is it possible to produce grape juice with the same passion dedicated to wine? Can varietal flavours be preserved in a juice?
This is what Veronika Mitteregger wanted to explore. Coming from a dynasty of winemakers, she first got her family on board. Later, former fellow students joined her in this endeavour. Today, Flein is produced by three wineries in three countries: Gross & Gross in Austria, Cantina Kurtatsch in Italy and Schmidt am Bodensee in Germany.
These wineries cultivate both their friendship and the finest grapes. Following mutually defined quality principles, their joint aim is to bestow grape juice with a more sophisticated image by refining regional varieties into a non-alcoholic alternative to wine.
Veronika set the impulse for Flein and today takes care of its further development.
