Star Berry Odi

Description

Star Berry Odi is a 12% ABV fruit wine from Hanguk Wine Brewery in Gyeongsangbuk-do, produced from winemaking-grade grapes cultivated in Yeongcheon. Despite its name suggesting mulberry (odi), the wine is grape-based, drawing on Yeongcheon's established viticulture. The nose opens with ripe dark grape, berry candy, and a hint of dried rose that adds complexity. On the palate, the body is light-medium with a soft, approachable sweetness that flows smoothly without sharp edges. The grape flavors feel authentic and well-extracted, with a pleasant berry-like quality that justifies the playful naming. There is enough fruit concentration to carry interest through each sip, while the 12% ABV provides a gentle warmth in the background. The finish is moderate, clean, and leaves a cheerful fruit echo. The brewery was recognized through Korea's 2017 Chajaganeun Yangjojang (Visiting Brewery) program, underscoring its craft credentials. The 500ml bottle is a versatile mid-size format. Serve at 9-12°C with cheese boards where the berry-grape quality finds a natural home, alongside casual appetizer plates, or with lighter desserts like pavlova or fruit crumble where the wine's soft sweetness integrates seamlessly.
