Apple Wine

Description

Apple Wine is a 12% ABV fruit wine from Geumisan Nongwon Brewery in Sejong, made with over 92% Korean-grown apples, minimal white sugar, and a touch of yeast and citric acid. The apple dominance in the recipe means the fruit identity comes through without ambiguity — this genuinely tastes of orchard apples rather than generic sweetness. The nose opens with crisp green apple and a honey-drizzle warmth, followed by a faint yeasty note from fermentation. On the palate, the body is light-medium with a clean, flowing texture. The apple sweetness is natural-feeling and moderate, balanced by the citric acid's bright tartness which recalls biting into a fresh apple. The midpalate shows a subtle baked-apple quality, adding depth without heaviness. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a lingering apple-skin dryness. The 500ml format works well for sharing. Serve at 8-11°C with light cheese plates where the apple brightness complements aged cheddar, alongside salad-based appetizers where the wine's crispness mirrors fresh greens, or with apple desserts where the fruit echo creates a focused seasonal theme.
