Connoisseur
Belsazar was established in 2013 by two young German entrepreneurs by the name of Max Wagner and Sebastian Brack. Acknowledging the rise of European aperitivo culture and consumer appetite for No & Low options, the founders set about creating Germany’s first premium wine based aperitif; focusing on high quality wines from the Baden region, SW Germany.
Each of Belsazar’s expressions is based on a different German base wine, fortified with a different complimentary fruit brandy/eau de vie and aromatised with its own bespoke botanical bill.
