Darae Wine 7004S

Description

Darae Wine 7004S is an 8% ABV kiwifruit wine from Oreum Brewing in Gyeongsangnam-do, made from Korean hardy kiwi (chamdarae). This native fruit produces a wine profile entirely different from grape-based bottles — tropical, green, and vibrantly aromatic. The nose opens with fresh kiwi flesh, a green melon-like sweetness, and a faintly floral top note. On the palate, the body is light and easy at 8% ABV, with a juicy, nectar-like flow that stays lively rather than heavy. The chamdarae's natural sweetness is gentle and immediately appealing, but a tangy acidity in the tail keeps the profile from becoming one-dimensional. The finish is short and clean, leaving a pleasant green-fruit freshness. The 750ml bottle is generous for casual sharing. For drinkers who have explored only rice-based or grape-based Korean alcohols, this is an eye-opening introduction to the diversity of Korean fruit wines. Serve chilled at 6-9°C with light bites like spring rolls or bruschetta, alongside mild soft cheese, or with citrus-based desserts where the tropical kiwi character creates a cohesive fruit harmony.
