Our Story
Meet Marlie and Azel, two kindred spirits who connected on a fateful evening of revelry, where the stars aligned and their paths intertwined. As the night progressed, their shared laughter echoed with the joy and freedom that only genuine friendship brings. Fuelled by the warmth of the wine, they decided to embrace the spontaneity of the moment and embarked on an impromptu skinny-dipping adventure under the moonlit sky.
A forever friendship was formed that night and through the years, they faced all of life’s ups and downs together. Twenty-three years into their friendship, they felt an innate desire to recreate the magic and connection they experienced on that first meeting, but with a profound twist. Inspired by the personal growth journeys they had individually undertaken, they sought to offer an alternative to the traditional wine experience—one that embraced mindful choices and conscious consumption.
Driven by their shared vision, Marlie and Azel set out on an ambitious quest to craft an exquisite range of wines that catered to those seeking a life of balance, wellness, and exploration. They envisioned a brand that would celebrate the art of winemaking while championing the idea that enjoying life’s pleasures need not always be synonymous with alcohol.
Thus, their brainchild was born—an innovative wine brand that invites individuals to embark on a transformative journey of less alcohol or no alcohol. They sought to redefine the boundaries of traditional winemaking by expertly blending flavours and carefully selecting the finest grapes, with the intention of preserving the essence of wine while removing the alcohol content.
Their passion for this endeavour was ignited by personal experiences and together, they poured their hearts and souls into their brand, meticulously curating a collection that delighted the senses and nurtured the spirit. Their zero-alcohol wines captured the rich heritage of winemaking traditions, offering a bouquet of flavours and aromas that mirrored those found in traditional wines, sans the intoxicating effects of alcohol.
They invite you to embrace a healthier, more conscious lifestyle and join a space where you can savour life’s moments without compromising your well-being. These wines are a symbol of freedom, connection, and empowerment—a testament to the transformative power of friendship, fueled by a shared dream and a moonlit night of laughter and skinny dipping (which they still do).
Raise a glass and celebrate the beautiful complexity of life, one sip at a time.
