Wine Proxy

Proxy wines are not dealcoholized wines – and don't want to be seen as wine. They are independent compositions: inspired by wine, but reimagined. Creation instead of withdrawal.

Their complexity arises from fermentation or distillation – sometimes through kombucha or lacto-fermentation, sometimes based on water kefir or other controlled microbial processes. Added to this are tea infusions, juices, fruit extracts, herbs, or spices, which combine like building blocks to create multi-layered structures. The result: a beverage that, in structure, depth, and aroma, is reminiscent of wine – often entirely without grapes.

The focus is on acidity, texture, tannins, and length, supported by a fine balance and controlled sweetness. The best proxy wines can do what great wines can: accompany food, unlock aromas, stimulate – and tell their own story.
A category for the curious.

Selection & Expertise

OUR PERSPECTIVE

Koji makes everything "more," like natural MSG. Everything umami. The KRS-1 is a little umami bomb. Inspired by amazake, a rice-based drink, it naturally pairs perfectly with sushi and sweet rice dishes. Fun fact: While smoking a batch of rhubarb for the "Yamilé," the team forgot a load of lavender in the smokehouse. That was the "missing piece" for KRS-1, which perfected the drink. The silky, creamy mouthfeel is enhanced by mahlep, a spice made from ground cherry kernels.

MURI - Koji Rice Series 1 BEHIND THE SCENE'S

PRODUCTION

The process begins with gently steamed jasmine rice, which is fermented together with koji spores – an enzymatic process that converts starch into finely bound, natural sugars. A second fermentation adds a gentle acidity. The rice base is then blended with water kefir infused with smoky lavender and mahleb – the aromatic cherry pit spice.
