Rogaška Donat Mg

About this water

Rogaška Donat Mg is a naturally sparkling mineral water from Rogaška Slatina, Savinja, Slovenia. The brand dates to 1908. It is produced by Droga Kolinska / Atlantic Grupa, part of Atlantic Grupa. Its bubbles come up with the water from the source. You'll find it in glass and PET. It is hard to find in the US.

Each liter carries 13,197 mg of dissolved minerals, which puts it in the high mineral class. Its largest ion is bicarbonate at 7,800 mg/L, followed by sulfate (2,100) and sodium (1,700). Hardness works out to 5,067 mg/L as calcium carbonate. The label gives a pH of 6.8.

Bicarbonate at this level gives a smooth, rounded weight. Sulfate at this level reads as a dry, slightly bitter finish. There is enough sodium to taste a savory, salty edge. Calcium gives it a firm, chalky backbone. Magnesium this high can add a faint bitterness.
