Wondermak Basil Draft Makgeolli is infused with aromatic Italian basil. It offers delightful crispness, accompanied by sophisticated herbal and floral features. Our light-bodied rice wine carries a gentle hint of spice, and a tangy twist to its flavor profile. As basil is a type of herb renowned for great pairing with red meat, Wondermak Basil goes exceptionally well with any kind of rich meat dish.
What makes Wondermak special?
Pure Ingredients, Perfect Balance
Purity of Ingredients: Wondermak Makgeolli is made solely with rice, water, and nuruk (traditional fermentation starter), with no artificial sweeteners added.
Natural Sweetness: The sweetness comes purely from the natural flavors of glutinous rice.
5 Times the Rice: We use up to five times more rice than typical makgeolli breweries to achieve a richer flavor.
Real Ingredients: All additional ingredients, such as basil, blueberry, strawberry, yuzu, and lemon, are made with real fruits and leaves.
Time Shapes the Taste
Extended Fermentation: A fermentation period of over three weeks at controlled temperatures results in a smooth, non-carbonated texture.
Longer Shelf Life: Fully fermented before bottling, our makgeolli has a longer shelf life, even as a fresh product.
Patience and Care: Unlike the typical short fermentation period of 4 to 7 days, Wondermak takes the time to craft its makgeolli with care in natural conditions.
Expertise and Tradition
Professional Training: The co-founders, Jungun Lee and Steve Jeong, have received professional training at leading makgeolli facilities in Korea.
Collaboration with Experts: Wondermak’s production model was developed with guidance from makgeolli experts to ensure quality and authenticity.
Carrying on Tradition: Every step of our production process embodies the wisdom and dedication of our ancestors. We honor their legacy and continue their vision by crafting traditional makgeolli here in Toronto.
Avoid direct sunlight. Best kept refrigerated. Slightly shake the bottle until the sediment is mixed well. Our makgeolli is not carbonated, so don’t worry about it exploding.
7 reviews for Wondermak Basil Draft Makgeolli – 바질 생막걸리
Q: What is the shelf life for Fresh Draft Wondermak?
A: You can enjoy our makgeolli for up to 3 months when you properly store it in a refrigerator. After 3 months, the sweetness is going to develop towards sourness, which becomes a matter of personal preference. It doesn’t mean the makgeolli is spoiled.
Q: Is it okay to store it again in a fridge after opening it?
A: Yes, the taste will not change significantly whether it is opened or not if it is stored in a fridge.
Q: Do you add sugar or sweetener to the product? How does it achieve its sweetness?
A: No, we strictly stick to using only rice, water, and nuruk. The sweetness originates from sweet rice (찹쌀). We use approximately 3-5 times the amount of rice used in other commercially produced makgeolli to achieve this sweetness.
Q: Can you recommend some ways to enjoy Wondermak at home?
A: For those who find Wondermak to be strong and thick in taste, we recommend adding some ice cubes. This will lighten and cool the drink for a more enjoyable experience. Additionally, if you prefer fizzy makgeolli, try mixing Wondermak with Sprite or sparkling water at a ratio of 1:1 to 1:0.5, depending on your preference.
Q: Can you recommend some food pairings for each flavor?
A: For the original flavor, it pairs well with a wide range of dishes, particularly those with strong spices. Basil Wondermak complements meat and seafood dishes with its herbal and tangy flavours. Blueberry Wondermak’s vibrant color and fruity flavor are an excellent match for desserts.
