About the Product: 

"Muri’s glou-glou red wine alternative is named Nuala, which means “beautiful” in Gaelic, as a tribute to Murray Paterson’s Scottish heritage. It is a still, red beverage that blends a series of short fermentations to achieve its bright, gulpable profile. It is a cuvée of fermented blackcurrant piquette, red currant, French oak-aged kombucha, sloe berries, chamomile kefir, and fig leaf & pine kvass. The base of this blend is a blackcurrant piquette (fermented with pichia kluyveri yeast) which provides a structure of juicy fruit and tannins. This base is mixed with red currant juice, water kefir macerated with chamomile flowers, black tea, supernatant kombucha (which uses the liquid byproduct of brewing yeast production),  kvass infused with fig leaves for texture, and pine needles. The drink is then macerated in French oak barrels to add depth and complexity. Nuala is nonalcoholic, has no added sulfites, and is pasteurized. No artificial additives, flavors, or preservatives."
