{"product_id":"song-cai-kha-rice-wine-nv","title":"KHA - Natural Yellow Rice Wine 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e Fermented strictly with indigenous microbes and aged sur lees for 18 months in a solera system of neutral wood and terracotta amphorae, KHÀ presents an unpasteurized, unfiltered evolution of traditional Vietnamese r??u cái. Distillers use unpolished native grains-aromatic Yellow Flower sticky rice (n?p Cái Hoa Vàng) and nutrient-dense highland purple sticky rice (n?p C?m)-inoculated with wild fungi, bacteria, and yeasts including Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus. Unlike mass-market rice wines reliant on commercial enzymes, neutral spirit fortification, or pasteurization, this 17.3% ABV natural expression matures under tropical conditions, yielding 0.88% total acidity and a low 3 g\/L residual sugar.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \r\nAromatics open with tart white peach, toasted sticky rice, steamed koji, and a distinctive savory soy sauce element. On the palate, a textural, oxidative weight reminiscent of an Oloroso sherry or Vin Jaune carries sharp, mouthwatering acidity that cuts directly through a wave of deep amino umami. In-house testing at USQ showed that its oxidative profile bridges natural wine and savory spirit categories effortlessly; our team recommends sipping it slightly chilled alongside pork belly bao or using 1.5 oz KHÀ shaken with 0.75 oz gin, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz honey syrup for a dry, umami-driven sour build. \u003c\/p\u003e \r\n","brand":"Song Cai DIstillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52506358743404,"sku":"1-102281","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0469\/6411\/3569\/files\/KHARiceWineBottle1080.jpg?v=1786923573","url":"https:\/\/unionsquarewines.shop\/products\/song-cai-kha-rice-wine-nv","provider":"Union Square Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
