Korean Fruit Wine
Dorosi Wild Grapeju
도로시 머루주
Dorosi Wild Grape Wine is a 12% ABV fruit wine from San Wild Grape Farm Brewery in Gyeonggi-do, made with 78.5% Korean wild grape (sanmeoru) concentrate and distilled spirit. The high proportion of wild grape extract sets this apart from milder table-style fruit wines — the profile is darker, more rustic, and unapologetically intense. The nose opens with deep blackberry, dried wild berry, and an earthy, almost forest-floor quality that signals its mountain grape origins. On the palate, the body is medium with a firm, tannic grip unusual for Korean fruit wines, and the berry depth carries through steadily from attack to finish. Sweetness is present but tempered by the wild grape's natural astringency, creating a balanced tension. The finish is moderately long with lingering berry warmth and a drying mineral tail. Designated as a 2014 Chajaganeun Yangjojang, the brewery's craft roots are well-established. Serve at 12-15°C with aged cheese where the tannins find harmony, alongside grilled red meats where the dark fruit stands up to char, or with chocolate desserts where the wild berry intensity amplifies cocoa notes.

Neowa Wild Grape Wine
너와머루와인
Neowa Wild Grape Wine is a 12% ABV wine from Gyeonggi-do, made with 100% Korean wild grapes (sanmeoru). Despite being categorized as cheongju in some registries, this is fundamentally a wild grape expression — and a notably refined one at that. Sanmeoru vines grow in Korea's mountain forests, producing small, thick-skinned berries with high acidity and concentrated pigment, characteristics that translate into wines with more structure and depth than typical sweet fruit wines. The nose is clean and poised — dark berry compote, a hint of forest floor, and subtle dried-herb aromatics. On the palate, the body is light-medium with a polished, smooth texture. Rather than leaning into heavy sweetness, this wine shows restraint: the fruit tone is controlled, the acidity is well-integrated, and the overall impression is one of balance and composure. It reads more like a gentle table wine than a dessert pour. The finish is moderate, clean, and carries a refined berry-skin whisper. A 2014 Chajaganeun Yangjojang (Visiting Brewery) designation adds meaningful craft credibility. The 500ml bottle is suited for intimate meals. Serve at 10-14°C with grilled fish where the wine's structure matches smoky richness, alongside steamed dishes and formal Korean course meals (hanjeongsik), or with mild cheese.
