MORE ABOUT WOSSA  

Wossa is sourced from a marble spring located in the beautiful Lavant Valley in Carinthia, Austria, and graces gourmet tables worldwide. What’s new is that Wossa is now available in recyclable 250ml aluminum cans. These cans are not only resource-efficient but also help minimize the ecological footprint. 

Available in still and sparkling variants, Wossa promises a refreshing experience sourced directly from the pristine springs of the Lavant Valley. The water is renowned for its premium quality and distinctive taste, shaped by the unique geological features of the region. 

The source is located at 1,110 meters above sea level on a 300-year-old farm. No cultivation is conducted in the area above the source, and the farm has been managed according to ecological and organic principles for more than a generation. This ensures that the water remains uncontaminated and maintains its excellent quality.  

The water is hand-filled at the source using a small, specially crafted facility, emphasizing its high-quality artisanal production with low output. To reflect sustainability and regional identity in its design, an Austrian designer was chosen. The result is a glass bottle adorned with a genuine wood cap and premium paper label. The glass bottle is not only sustainable but also designed to be reused by consumers in their homes.
