NV Hana Makgeolli ‘Honey’ Rice Wine, Brooklyn, NY, USA - 500ml

A vibrant and contemporary interpretation of traditional Korean rice wine, Hana Makgeolli’s “Honey” combines the rustic charm of naturally fermented makgeolli with the delicate sweetness and floral complexity of honey. Aromas of wildflower honey, ripe pear, steamed rice, and citrus blossom mingle with subtle notes of yogurt and fresh herbs. Lightly effervescent and softly textured, the palate balances gentle sweetness with refreshing acidity and a creamy, pleasantly tangy character, finishing clean and aromatic with lingering notes of honeyed fruit and rice.

ABOUT THE WINE

Honey is Hana Makgeolli’s lighter expression of traditional, unfiltered Korean rice wine, bottled in a 500 mL format at 6% alcohol. It begins with the brewery’s flagship Takju 16, made from California rice, nuruk and New York water through a three-stage fermentation lasting 28 days.

After full fermentation, the wine is diluted and finished with a touch of honey. This gives a gently sweet profile with steamed-rice and wildflower-honey aromas, a lightly creamy texture and refreshing acidity. The clean finish makes it an inviting partner for Korean pancakes or fried mushrooms.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Hana Makgeolli is a Brooklyn brewery devoted to traditional Korean sool. Founder and head brewer Alice Jun and business partner John Limb began the project in 2017 and launched commercially in 2020, bringing home-brewing knowledge and Korean heritage into an artisanal American brewery.

Organic rice and nuruk, a traditional mixed-culture starter, form the foundation of the range. The brewing approach highlights the interaction of grain richness, fruit and floral aromas, and naturally occurring lactic acidity, creating rice wines with depth and a strong connection to Korean food culture.
