Dorosi Wild Grapeju

Description

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.
