Wine Proxy

Proxy wines are not dealcoholized wines – and don't intend to be wines.
They are independent compositions, perhaps inspired by wine, but reimagined. Composition instead of withdrawal.

Blends of tea infusions, juices, fruit extracts, herbs, spices, and fermented elements form the basis. The result: a beverage reminiscent of wine in structure, depth, and aroma – usually entirely without grapes. Acidity, texture, tannins, and length are key. The best proxy wines can do what great wines can: complement food, unlock aromas, stimulate – and tell their own unique story.

A category for the curious. And for everyone who chooses alcohol-free – and expects character, complexity and enjoyment.

OUR PERSPECTIVE

Similar to the rosé, the Effervescent is an incredibly complex drink. Here, the musty notes, the oxidized apple, are perhaps a little more prominent, which is why it polarizes opinions quite differently. More in the Pet-Nat style. Nevertheless, it's also one of the most (natural) wine-like sparkling proxies I know to date, and that's why I love it so much. A soft, almost creamy mouthfeel (as if it had undergone extended lees aging) plays with fresh acidity, stone fruit aromas, and a combination of floral body and deep spiciness that pairs perfectly with food. We quickly learned: especially with white fish, mussels, and oysters. The Effervescent has now become a staple in my repertoire whenever I'm invited somewhere.
