GET TO KNOW YOUR POUR

Fiji,
in the glass.

Sourced from an artesian aquifer on Viti Levu, Fiji brings a still, rounded presence to the table. Its published mineral analysis includes naturally occurring silica, calcium and magnesium. For pairing, begin with the sensation of the water alongside the food: a gentle still pour can leave room for the subtler textures of raw fish, fresh greens and mild cheese.

In the glass
Clear and still, without the lift of carbonation.
Aroma
A quiet, neutral impression; use an unscented glass so the food’s aromas remain the focus.
On the palate
Look for a soft, rounded texture and a restrained mineral impression. A faint sense of sweetness is a tasting descriptor, not a statement about sugar.
The finish
Gentle and clean, with little sparkling bite. Notice how the next mouthful of food changes the impression.
THREE PAIRINGS TO TRY

Bring the water
and the food together.

Simple dishes, thoughtfully chosen.
Try a sip before and after each bite.

01seafood

Salmon sashimi & cucumber

The soft texture of raw fish and the cool crunch of cucumber suit a gentle still water. Keep soy, wasabi and sharp dressings on the side so you can explore the more delicate pairing first.

02vegetarian

Garden leaves & soft goat’s cheese

Young leaves, peas and a small amount of fresh cheese bring contrasting textures without needing a forceful sparkling water. A light olive-oil dressing keeps the pairing simple.

03seafood

Steamed white fish & ginger

Subtle ginger, spring onion and a light broth give the meal fragrance. Try a sip between bites and notice the contrast between warm food and cool, still water.

THE FINISHING TOUCHES

A considered pour.

Temperature, glassware and the way you serve can change the tasting experience. Start here, then make it your own.

  1. 01

    Begin lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, then let a small pour warm slightly as you taste.

  2. 02

    Use a clean, odour-free wine glass. Pour a modest amount and compare one sip on its own with another after a bite.

  3. 03

    For a tasting, skip ice, lemon and mint at first so you can explore the water itself.
