Description

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.
