Description
Indulge in the soft glow of tradition with our Original Makgeolli — a milky-white, gently effervescent rice wine cherished for centuries in Korea. Crafted from steamed rice, pristine spring water, and the age-old fermentation starter nuruk, this timeless brew captures the perfect harmony of sweet, tangy, and earthy notes. Its creamy texture and delicate fizz awaken the senses, offering both comfort and sophistication in every sip. More than just a drink, it’s a taste of Korean heritage — best enjoyed alongside the authentic flavours of 8 Korean BBQ, where every pour and every plate celebrate connection, warmth, and the joy of sharing.
Why this bottle matters:
- Celebration in every pour — With an ABV gently hovering around 6–7 %, our makgeolli offers the perfect balance of lightness and elegance, making it ideal for shared moments of joy.
- From Korea’s fields to your table — Once known as the “farmer’s wine,” this historic brew has fed both body and spirit for over a millennium. Every pour connects you to centuries of Korean ritual, culture and craftsmanship.
- Textural delight — The fine sediment settles naturally, giving the wine its signature creamy appearance. A gentle swirl or pour brings out its full character — soft, smooth, just a hint of bubbly.
- Perfect pairings & moments — Chill the bottle. Pour gently into small cups or shallow bowls. Serve alongside rich Korean BBQ, pancakes (like pajeon) or fresh savoury bites. It’s designed for sharing, laughter and lingering conversation.
Serving Tips:
- Chill before serving – Best enjoyed cold.
- Gently swirl or drip-pour – The milky sediment adds character; mix it for full flavour.
- Use shallow bowls or glasses – Enhance the drinking experience and elevate the moment.
- Pair intentionally – Complements grilled meats, savoury pancakes, kimchi-forward dishes, and communal feasting.
