MURI
Copenhagen, Denmark

Owned by James Murphy from the band LCD Soundsystem, the 1-Michelin star restaurant The Four Horsement has been a big supporter of Muri from the start. Famous for having one of the best wine lists in America, and a drinks program driven by one of the industry legends - Beverage Director Justin Chearno - the restaurant won the James Beard award for Best Wine Program in 2022 and is a must-visit for any wine lover in NYC. 

In November 2023, Murray and Justin met at the restaurant to see if there was something cool that they could produce together. Guests at the restaurant are famously spoiled by the epic wine card but Justin wanted those not drinking to feel the same sense of occasion. It was, he said, important that the bottle was more 'wine-adjacent' than our typical blends as 4H was after all a wine bar, but also that the drink could serve as versatile pairing for the amazing dishes coming out of the kitchen. 

The Blend: A silky still red made from Stevnsbær sour cherry wine, ice-clarified tomato water, lacto-fermented beetroot, bayleaf and green peppercorn water kefir. 

The Taste: Ripe red fruit to the fore. With balanced acidity and a luxurious texture, the blend is given intricate savouriness from the salty beetroot and has a lightly spicy finish.

The Pairing: Pair with duck, root vegetables, or ideally the delicious homemade sausage with mashed potatoes and prunes that is on the menu at the Four Horsemen from time to time.
