Song Cai Kha Rice Wine
An 18-month old rượu cái (Vietnamese rice wine). Distinguished by tart complex acidity and layered umami like a palo cortado sherry, vin jaune, or rancio sec. Khà is produced from yellow flower sticky rice and purple sticky rice, two prized rice varieties known for their aromatic qualities and fermentation capabilities. Loads of umami, soy sauce, and toasted walnuts on the nose. The palate is an avalanche of acidity with notes of peach, whey, sticky rice, mushroom, and lemon zest. The persistence on the palate is incredible – it lingers on.
