Description
Muri’s limited-edition collaboration with The Four Horsemen, a Brooklyn-based, James Beard Award-winning wine bar and restaurant, is a glou-glou inspired red wine alternative with savory, herbaceous aromatics and a juicy palate featuring tart, dark fruit. The base of the cuvée begins with a “wine” of Stevnsbaer sour cherries and red currants, fermented with pichia kluyveriyeasts, yielding very low alcohol and pronounced, complex aromas. Next, they add short fermentations of bay leaf water kefir, ice-clarified tomato juice, and a trace amount of lacto-fermented beetroot. The entire cuvée is then infused with green peppercorns, which have been blanched seven times to remove any bitterness, and pasteurized. Muri x Four Horsemen is a delicious and food-friendly non alcoholic alternative, with no added sulfites, artificial additives, flavors, or preservatives. By using techniques and flavor profiles connected to the culinary sphere, Muri x Four Horsemen is an ideal companion to a plate of food and a progressive take on the traditional wine pairing.
Flavor Profile – Complex and subtle notes of fresh cut herbs and forest fruits with a tart and juicy earthiness on the palate. The cuvée is framed by fresh acidity and a gently tannic, satisfying finish that leads one promptly to another glass
Usage Notes – Store vertically and serve slightly chilled. Drink whenever you might reach for a light, earthy red wine (think Beaujolais/Chinon red wine profile).
