Loire Valley, France
WHERE IT'S MADE.
A 12th-century château. Ancient limestone caves. The same sparkling craft that France has refined for centuries. This is where Pink Pony begins.
The region
LOIRE VALLEY.
SINCE ALWAYS.
An hour south of Paris, where the river bends through chalk and tuffeau stone, a Loire château has been making sparkling wine for generations. The same walls. The same caves. The same obsession with the dry, mineral finish that makes French sparkling what it is.
The château sits on ancient limestone — the same geology that defines the region's character. Below the grounds, kilometres of hand-cut caves hold the temperature at a constant 12°C year-round. No technology required. The earth does it.
The process
"The grapes decide the character. We just decide what happens after."

THE CAVES.
Below the château, the riddling racks hold every bottle at precisely 45 degrees. The caves never change temperature. Neither does the process.
The craft
SPARKLING
DONE RIGHT.
Pink Pony starts as genuine sparkling wine. Fermented in the traditional manner, in the same caves where French winemakers have worked for centuries. Every grape, every bubble, every mineral note from the Loire stays in the glass.
De-alcoholization is the last step, not the first. That ordering matters: the wine develops its full character first, then the alcohol is extracted with cold-temperature spinning cone technology — the same method used at Michelin-starred kitchens. Nothing is added. Nothing is covered up.
What remains is everything you taste. What leaves is only the alcohol.
01
REAL WINE.
REAL GRAPES.
No sweeteners, no flavoring, no shortcuts. The Loire Valley terroir shows in every sip because that's where this starts.
02
CAVES AT
12 DEGREES.
Ancient limestone holds the temperature constant. The château doesn't need modern climate control. The earth provides it.
03
THE LAST STEP
IS LEAVING.
Alcohol leaves last. Character develops first. That's what separates a château from a flavored water.
FRENCH
UNTIL THE END.
Most non-alcoholic beverages start with water, flavors, and carbonation. Pink Pony starts with a château. That's the difference you taste in every pop.
