A glass of summer freshness
The history of Verjus - the juice made from unripe grapes - begins in the 11th century. Monks from Gloggnitz Abbey tried their hand at viticulture with moderate success. As the grapes were not ripe enough due to the weather conditions, they made verjus and mixed the sour grape juice with sugar, alcohol and water.
In 2016, Johannes Ribeiro da Silva from Reichenau found a recipe in a handwritten cookbook from 1906 in the Riegelhof in Prein an der Rax. The cookbook belonged to a Bohemian cook from the famous Austrian writer Heimito von Doderer. 2026 is the year of anniversaries in the Semmering-Rax region: ten years of Silva - the Verjus drink and numerous other anniversaries. anniversaries will be celebrated.
With SILVA, a drink made from verjus, lime, alcohol and sparkling spring water, da Silva is bringing back a drink that was already popular at summer retreats around 1900. SILVA is suitable on its own as an aperitif, but can also be used to mix with other spirits, such as gin.
