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.

OUR PERSPECTIVE

Perhaps the purest expression of Bemuse – it shows that mead doesn't have to be sweet and can still play with its aromatics. Pale yellow, dry and herbaceous, with notes of heather honey, fresh grass and delicate nuttiness. Refined, aromatic, with invigorating bubbles and acidity.

Bemuse - Calluna Brut BEHIND THE SCENE'S

PRODUCTION

Raw heather honey forms the base; extracts of tarragon, Thai basil, and Cascade hops add definition. Fermentation is controlled with a specialized yeast in a water-based honey starter; fermentation is stopped early (cooling/filtration) so that only ≤ 0.5% ABV is produced – primarily for aroma and fine bubbles.
