San Wild Grape Keurate Deurai

Description

San Wild Grape Crate Dry is an 11.5% ABV dry-style fruit wine from Sudosan Winery in Gyeongsangbuk-do, presenting wild mountain grape (sanmeoru) with intentional sweetness restraint. Compared to the rosé and sweet versions from the same winery, the dry expression lets the grape's natural depth and tannic structure come forward rather than hiding behind sugar. The nose is darker and more serious, with ripe wild berry, dried cranberry, and a firm earthy note. On the palate, the body is medium with a more structured, food-friendly profile. The berry fruit is vivid but the finish is noticeably drier and cleaner, with a gentle astringency from the grape skins that gives the wine backbone. The acid-tannin balance here makes this one of the better Korean fruit wines for pairing with savory dishes. Winner of the 2017 Gwangmyeong Cave Wine Festival Bronze Prize, confirming its quality in competition. Serve at 10-14°C with grilled meats where the tannins match rendered fat, alongside mushroom-based dishes where the earthy notes create harmony, or with aged cheese where the dry profile and fruit intensity find balance.
