The winery takes its name and identity from Yi Yuksa, one of Korea's best-known resistance poets, born in Dosan-myeon, Andong; his poem \"Cheongpodo\" (\"Green Grapes\"), which romanticises the beauty and resilience of the fruit, inspired the winery's name, and its flagship wines are each named after his works. Hanbyul (한별, \"one bright star\") is the estate's best seller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: built for freshness and purity rather than richness — with no oak and no malolactic fermentation, expect vibrant acidity, clean fruit character and the mineral edge the estate's volcanic soils are known for. As the importer puts it: \"the delicate sparkle of a star captured in a glass.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking process\u003c\/strong\u003e: a two-stage, entirely stainless-steel process — whole clusters are crushed and fermented on skins for 10 days to extract colour and structure, then transferred to stainless steel for a further 35 days of temperature-controlled fermentation (20 degrees C), followed by 6 months of ageing. No oak, no malolactic fermentation — a deliberate choice to keep the wine's acidity and fruit as unfiltered by winemaking technique as possible.\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 activity against Japanese colonial rule, which he later adopted, phonetically, as his pen name. It's a striking piece of literary history for the winery to carry into its branding and its wines' names.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"264 Chungpodo Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43103069306978,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/264-Hanbyul.png?v=1783864423","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/hanbyul","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
