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.
About the Producer

Hana Makgeolli is a Brooklyn based producer of artisanal Korean rice wines. Since launching in 2020, Hana’s sool is made to celebrate heritage and the labor of love. Hana Makgeolli was born from founder Alice Jun’s deep connection to Korean heritage and the joy of making makgeolli. After meeting John Limb in 2017, the two business partners set out to become the first domestic producer of traditional Korean rice wine in the US.

They use only organic rice exclusively sourced from a family farm in California, and traditional brewing methodologies. All of their cuvees are made with unpolished rice, filtered water, and nuruk – a traditional, wild fermentation starter. From their heavily sedimented, botanically infused makgeollis, to the more refined, carefully clarified Yakju, Hana Makgeolli produces an array of cuvees that demonstrate both the breadth and depth of traditional Korean alcohol production.

Like natural wines, they are farmed without pesticides, they undergo natural fermentation and have no additives or nasties added!

All of their cuvees are best served cold, and all pair well with food.
