A standout selection, the NV Hana Makgeolli OMIJA MAKGEOLLI showcases the expertise of Hana Makgeolli. This exceptional wine is crafted in the heart of Brooklyn, USA, benefitng from the local terroir.
"Omija, also known as schisandra berry, translates to five flavor berry. A medicinal berry characterized by its simultaneously sweet, tart, salty, spicy and bitter flavor, it is a popular botanical used in Jeontongju style of Makgeolli. At first, this combination of omija and hibiscus was used in a small batch Makgeolli made using the sediment of YAKJU 14. Due to popular demand, it was brought back as their first full batch botanical co-ferment. The OMIJA MAKGEOLLI is a Samyangju (3 stage brew) made exclusively with organic medium grain white rice, organic sweet white rice, nuruk (traditional Korean wild fermentation starter), and filtered New York water. Medium-bodied, dry and effervescent with notes of pink peppercorn and citrus, Omija pairs perfectly with Eggs Benedict, Fried Chicken, Oysters Rockefeller or BBQ Ribs. Best kept refrigerated or stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shake gently to incorporate sediment and enjoy cold."
