[New Release] The Most Brilliant Sauvignon Blanc... Lotte Chilsung's "Acrux Bay"

New Zealand White Wine Exclusive to Korea
Priced at KRW 16,900

Lotte Chilsung Beverage announced on October 7, 2026, that it will introduce the New Zealand white wine "Acrux Bay (ACRUX BAY)."

Acrux Bay is produced by the experienced winemaker Rachel Hoare, who carefully selected Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in Marlborough, a region acclaimed worldwide as a premier origin for this variety.

This wine is characterized by its vibrant citrus aromas reminiscent of passionfruit, grapefruit, and lime, offering lively acidity and a clean, crisp finish. The alcohol content is 12.5%.

Lotte Chilsung Beverage explained that Acrux Bay was developed under the concept of "the most brilliant Sauvignon Blanc," reflecting the recent surge in Korean wine consumers' interest in white wines made from the Sauvignon Blanc variety.

The product name "Acrux" was chosen to clearly highlight this concept, as it is derived from Acrux, the brightest star in the Crux constellation. The Crux is one of the Southern Hemisphere's most recognizable constellations and is even featured on New Zealand’s national flag.

Acrux Bay is priced at KRW 16,900 and will be available at GS25 convenience stores nationwide. A representative from Lotte Chilsung Beverage stated, "Acrux Bay is a Korea-exclusive wine released to emphasize its concept as the most brilliant Sauvignon Blanc."
