GAMGRIN,
THE FIRST PERSIMMON WINE IN THE WORLD

Our persimmon wine product Gamgrin is matured in a wine tunnel
that has superb natural conditions.

The wine tunnel maintains a temperature of 13-15°C, making it suitable for avoiding the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter. The old Namseong-hyeon tunnel, which was completed in 1904 during the late Korean Empire (37st year of the Meiji Era), is known as one of the most beautiful tunnels in Korea with a ceiling made of red brick and natural stones used for its walls. Built 108 years ago, the old Namseong-hyeon tunnel, is still beautiful and unique to this day.

Tunnel's Effectiveness

Wine tunnel has minus ion (or anion) effect, thus good for your health!

Minus ions (negative ions) which are emitted on a large scale from waterfalls and forests are known to be more advantageous to human health than plus ions (or cations).

An environment rich in minus ions helps stabilize the mind and is particularly good for respiratory functions, activating physiological functions and thus enhancing the body's selfhealing capabilities.

(ion ratio within tunnel 1.25:1 , no.of anions 3,000~5,000/cm³)
