Introducing Ester Water: a new language for experiencing wine aromas.
From the heart of South Moravia, Balbin Artesian Water unveils the world’s first mineral water, naturally sparkling and enriched with esters captured from grape fermentation.
No extracts. No artificial flavours.
Just the lost soul of wine — revived in mineral water.
Free from alcohol, sugars, or tannins, Ester Water reveals the aromatic depth of fine wine with a champagne-like sparkle and soft mineral expression. A nuanced yet natural indulgence, where each layered note unfolds with remarkable clarity.
A familiar bouquet in an unfamiliar form.
A memory awakened with every inhale.
This is where legacy, innovation, and sensory elegance converge.

Ester Water by Balbin.
Water is not an accessory to life, it is life itself.
Choosing to enjoy it, really enjoy it, is a small shift that changes everything. The simplest ritual, done well, becomes something worth remembering.
For every chef, it comes down to the details. A deep respect for ingredients, and the discipline to let them speak as they are. Culinary artistry lives in that understanding: what to elevate, what to leave untouched, what truly belongs. A wholehearted mindset of care.
In that context, every element at the table matters. Balbin was created to sit within this world, to complete it, naturally.

“Everything at Reason has a reason.”
It’s not just a tagline, but a philosophy you feel from the moment you are welcomed, your presence, wholeheartedly acknowledged.
On the panoramic rooftop of Masaryčka, Chef Jan Horák’s vision is clear: cuisine built with purpose, precision, and respect for both ingredient and moment.
Menus are seasonal and structured around bold technique and flavour. A tasting journey that moves confidently between European roots and unexpected ideas. Dishes are presented by the chefs themselves, beverage pairings tailored and every detail aligned with why it’s there.
This is fine dining that feels ALIVE.
Rigorous yet human. An experience where design, view, and the team’s care are as integral to the meal as what’s on the plate.
Balbin proudly accompanies the culinary discovery at the table, chosen with the same conviction that shapes everything at Reason.
Thank you for our partnership,
@reason_prague

Only a fraction of the world’s water is naturally drinkable — shaped by nature over centuries, untouched, and complete. In that sense, it is among the rarest natural beverages we encounter.
At Balbin, we honour this rarity: through a design that speaks softly but with confidence, and through partnerships with places that respect water. Source, quality and its character, appreciated.
