Rượu Mận Sáu Tia, or Sáu Tia Rose Apple Wine, is a popular Vietnamese wine made with Rose Apple and fermented with yeast and sugar. It is a specialty of Cần Thơ City, located in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam, and is known for its sweet and fruity flavor.
The taste of Rose Apple Wine is sweet and not as harsh as rice wine, slightly spicy on the tip of the tongue, and warm in the stomach. That aftertaste can only be found in the specialty Sau Tia Rose Apple Wine. Besides, the packaging design inspired by the unique Trang An Rose Apple also contributes to the success of Sau Tia Rose Apple Wine.
History
