Common questions
- What does Nessel taste like?
- Nessel is sparkling, full-bodied, silky and soft, closing on a soft, round finish. It belongs to the Spa Baron type in our sixteen-part typology, and the house tasting notes run fine fizz, bicarbonate lift and delicate body. Its pH is acidic, which on the palate reads as a faintly sour edge.
- Is Nessel good for you?

- How much sodium is in Nessel?
