The winery, named after the poet himself, built its whole identity and range around his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: no oak, no malolactic fermentation — expect a clean, vivid white with pronounced acidity and pure fruit character, the mineral edge of volcanic soil coming through underneath. Gold-award winning, per the importer's own notes, and built for early, refreshing drinking rather than the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking process\u003c\/strong\u003e: a two-stage, entirely stainless-steel process — whole clusters crushed and fermented on skins for 10 days to extract colour and structure, then a further 35 days of temperature-controlled fermentation (20 degrees C) in stainless steel, followed by 6 months of ageing. No oak, no malolactic fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: 264 Chungpodo Winery began as a collaboration between local farmers to cultivate the Cheongsu grape and preserve its natural character through minimal intervention. The name \"264\" refers to Yi Yuksa himself — the prisoner number he was assigned during his imprisonment for resistance against Japanese colonial rule, which he later adopted, phonetically, as his pen name.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"264 Chungpodo Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43103068946530,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/264-WildPlain.png?v=1783864785","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/264-chungpodo-winery-the-wild-plain","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
