Inside Faux Wine
What Is Faux Wine?
Still, not sparkling, and alcohol-free. Crafted in Napa from California verjus and wine grapes, with fruit and botanicals selected for structure, acidity, texture, and balance.
Rather than beginning as wine, each blend is built from the start to be dry, layered, and made for food.
For people who drink wine
Faux was made for people who drink wine and want another bottle at the table. It is still and dry, with bright acidity, texture, and structure that sit naturally with food.
Fruit and botanicals are used quietly, in the background, for balance and aroma rather than overt herbal or tea-like flavor.
Crafted Without Fermentation
Verjus, the pressed juice of unripe wine grapes, forms the backbone of Faux. Varietal grape juice contributes familiar character, while fruit and botanicals shape flavor, aroma, and finish.
Each blend is made in small batches, lightly filtered, and bottled. Nothing is fermented, and no alcohol is removed.
Faux is still, not carbonated, and contains 0.0% ABV.
An Alternative to Dealcoholized Wine
Dealcoholized wine begins as fermented wine, with the alcohol removed afterward. Faux takes a different approach.
It does not try to recreate wine exactly. It draws from the same traditions of structure, balance, food, and hospitality to offer something of its own.
