Hana Makgeolli Takju 16
Brooklyn // USA
16% ABV
Hana Makgeolli's signature brew and the ideal introduction to traditionally made Korean makgeolli. Inspired by Alice Jun's own family home brew recipes, the TAKJU 16 is coarsely filtered, near-dry, and undiluted with an alcohol by volume at 16%. This wine is most well known for its creamy body and full spectrum of flavors from a wild fermented brew, starting with the extremely floral almost melon-like character of fermented rice, followed by the brightness of our wild yeast that is perfectly balanced with the naturally occurring lactic acid and rice sediment.
The TAKJU 16 is a samyangju (3 stage fermented alcohol). Fermented to near dryness over 4 weeks and bottle conditioned to achieve finebubbles that elevate the intricate flavors of the wine.
