Baengkkore Hwaiteu Wine

뱅꼬레 화이트와인

Baengkkore White Wine is an 11% ABV white fruit wine from Hanguk Wine Brewery in Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do, made from locally grown winemaking grapes. Yeongcheon is one of Korea's established grape-growing regions, and the use of dedicated winemaking varieties rather than table grapes produces a noticeably different flavor profile — cleaner, more structured, and less foxy than Campbell Early-based wines. The nose opens with crisp orchard fruit, a touch of white flower, and a subtle minerality. On the palate, the body is light-medium with a polished, flowing texture. The sweetness is gentle and well-integrated, balanced by a clean acidity that carries the palate forward. The midpalate shows a brief honeydew-melon note before the wine settles into a smooth, moderate finish. Winner of a Gold at the Korea Wine Best Trophy and Silver at the Asia Wine Trophy, plus a 2017 Visiting Brewery designation — a substantial award portfolio for a domestic white. Serve at 7-10°C with seafood appetizers where the clean acidity and light body complement shellfish, alongside a cheese selection where the white-wine profile offers a different direction than the region's reds, or with lightly dressed salads where the wine's crispness becomes a natural extension.

Star Berry Odi

스타베리오디

Star Berry Odi is a 12% ABV fruit wine from Hanguk Wine Brewery in Gyeongsangbuk-do, produced from winemaking-grade grapes cultivated in Yeongcheon. Despite its name suggesting mulberry (odi), the wine is grape-based, drawing on Yeongcheon's established viticulture. The nose opens with ripe dark grape, berry candy, and a hint of dried rose that adds complexity. On the palate, the body is light-medium with a soft, approachable sweetness that flows smoothly without sharp edges. The grape flavors feel authentic and well-extracted, with a pleasant berry-like quality that justifies the playful naming. There is enough fruit concentration to carry interest through each sip, while the 12% ABV provides a gentle warmth in the background. The finish is moderate, clean, and leaves a cheerful fruit echo. The brewery was recognized through Korea's 2017 Chajaganeun Yangjojang (Visiting Brewery) program, underscoring its craft credentials. The 500ml bottle is a versatile mid-size format. Serve at 9-12°C with cheese boards where the berry-grape quality finds a natural home, alongside casual appetizer plates, or with lighter desserts like pavlova or fruit crumble where the wine's soft sweetness integrates seamlessly.

Baengkkore Aiseu Wine

뱅꼬레 아이스와인

Baengkkore Ice Wine is a 12% ABV ice-wine-style fruit wine from Hanguk Wine Brewery in Gyeongsangbuk-do, produced from winemaking-grade grapes cultivated in Yeongcheon. The ice-wine approach concentrates the grape sugars during production, yielding a dessert-style wine with a richness that standard-fermentation fruit wines rarely achieve. The nose is opulent — concentrated grape, honeycomb, candied citrus peel, and a warm, almost tropical sweetness. On the palate, the body is medium with a lush, syrupy texture that coats the tongue in layers of sweet fruit. Despite the concentrated sweetness, the 12% ABV provides a structural backbone that prevents it from becoming flabby. There is a subtle acidic thread running through the palate that adds freshness and prevents monotony. The finish is moderately long and satisfying, with persistent grape warmth and a clean, honeyed close. The 375ml bottle is perfectly portioned for a dessert course shared between two. The brewery holds a 2017 Chajaganeun Yangjojang designation. Serve well-chilled at 5-8°C with blue cheese or rich triple-cream brie where the concentrated sweetness counterbalances salt and fat, alongside fruit tarts or crème brûlée, or with foie gras preparations where the wine's honeyed intensity finds its ideal partner.

Baengkkore Roje Wine

뱅꼬레 로제와인

Baengkkore Rose Wine is an 11.5% ABV rosé fruit wine from Hanguk Wine Brewery in Gyeongsangbuk-do, crafted from winemaking-grade grapes grown in Yeongcheon. The rosé treatment extracts just enough grape skin color and tannin to give the wine its characteristic pink hue and a hint of structural complexity beyond simple fruit-and-sugar. The nose is gentle and charming — ripe berry, rose petal, and soft grape candy with a clean, spring-like freshness. On the palate, the body is light-medium with a smooth, easy-drinking flow that bridges aperitif and dessert functions. The sweetness is friendly and rounded, never aggressive, and the partial skin contact adds a very faint tannic whisper that gives the wine more dimension than fully pressed white-style fruit wines. The fruit character stays bright and uplifting throughout, and the finish is moderate with a warm, berry-tinged close. The 375ml bottle works beautifully as a conversation-starter pour or paired dessert wine. The brewery was designated a 2017 Chajaganeun Yangjojang. Serve at 8-11°C as an elegant aperitif, alongside light cheese plates and charcuterie where the rosé color sets a festive mood, or with lighter desserts like strawberry shortcake or fruit mousse where the berry-grape character finds natural resonance.

Baengkkore Redeu Wine

뱅꼬레 레드와인

Baengkkore Red Wine is a 12% ABV fruit wine from Gyeongsangbuk-do, made with wine grapes cultivated in the Yeongcheon region. Yeongcheon sits in a continental microclimate with significant day-night temperature swings, which concentrates sugars in the grapes while preserving natural acidity — a combination that translates into wines with both richness and structure. The nose opens with ripe dark cherry, plum skin, and a warm berry-jam sweetness that signals its fruit-forward character from the first pour. On the palate, the body is light-medium with a rounded, supple texture. The sweetness feels polished rather than syrupy, with soft grape tannins providing just enough framework to keep the profile interesting through mid-palate. A faint earthy undertone from the regional terroir adds subtle complexity. The finish is moderate, clean, and leaves a gentle berry warmth. The producer holds a 2017 Chajaganeun Yangjojang (Visiting Brewery) designation, underscoring a genuine commitment to region-first winemaking. Bottled at 375ml, it works well as a personal pour or intimate pairing companion. Serve at 12-15°C with cheese boards where the dark-fruit tone complements aged varieties, alongside savory appetizers like jeon (Korean pancakes), or with mild chocolate desserts where the grape richness harmonizes without overwhelming.
