Cheongju (Mepssal)

An Australian tribute to the premium grade traditional Korean alcohol. We craft this clear, premium sool by fermenting rice with our hand-made Nuruk fermentation starter. Sin g a combination of Koshihikari rice and sweet rice, the entire process is developed from a combination of traditional and modern processes, allowing us to cultivate the exact flavour profiles we want - a delicate balance of aroma, acidity, and alcohol, just like a premium white wine.

The resulting drink is polished and bright, with a subtle floral aroma. The palate is often defined by its clean, smooth body, a gentle rice sweetness, and a funkily sophisticated, crisp, and slightly tart finish.

Like the rest of our Korean “Sool”, each batch of our cheongju is unique - just like wine. Some are sweet, some are dry, and some lean into the sour - but each batch always has a beautifully complex and bold flavours that present an entirely new experience in the Australian market.

Best served chilled in a wine glass to appreciate its nuances, it pairs beautifully with seafood and lighter meals, but has also been known to go especially well with BBQ!
