Shinsegae L&B Selected as Official Wine of Bucheon Fantastic Film Festival for 'Robert Mondavi'

Sponsorship of Two Types of Wine at Film Festival Opening Ceremony Reception

Shinsegae L&B announced on the 29th that the American Napa Valley wine ‘Robert Mondavi’ has been selected as the official wine of the 27th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN), which runs until the 9th of next month.

Robert Mondavi decided to sponsor the 27th BIFAN film festival to wish for its successful hosting and the development of the Korean film industry. Robert Mondavi is a brand representing Napa Valley, California, a renowned American wine region, and is recognized as a winery that elevated the quality of American wine by reinterpreting the Bordeaux representative grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon in the California style.

The sponsored wines are two types: ▲Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon and ▲Robert Mondavi Private Selection Chardonnay. These wines will play a meaningful role by marking the toast at the BIFAN film festival opening reception and will also be used at various events, including the Night of Filmmakers.

Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is characterized by velvety smooth tannins, having been aged for 10 months in French and American oak barrels. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and cassis blend with scents of cigar box, black pepper, vanilla, and toasted oak, finishing with a deep lingering note of French roast coffee.

Robert Mondavi Private Selection Chardonnay undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for 7 months in French oak, offering a soft and creamy texture. Aromas of lime pie, pineapple, cr?me br?l?e, and vanilla bean harmonize with flavors of baked apple, stewed pear, and toasty oak, creating a balanced acidity and sweetness.

Tasting opportunities will also be provided for audiences and local residents. From the 30th for three days, anyone can taste the wines at the brand promotion booth set up on the lawn plaza in front of Bucheon City Hall, where they can experience two types of Robert Mondavi Private Selection and two types of Woodbridge.

A Robert Mondavi representative said, “We are pleased to partner with the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, known as Asia’s largest genre film festival,” adding, “We hope Robert Mondavi will offer the romance of summer to all the audiences, citizens, and filmmakers gathered in one place.”
