100% Riesling

Grapes are harvested at night from sites situated at altitudes between 920
to 1,050 metres with silty loam and loam soils. The wine undergoes cold
stabilization and a 15 to 20-day thermo-controlled fermentation to preserve its
fresh and vibrant character.


Tasting notes

A captivating bouquet of flinty lemon, green apples, white blossoms, and a
delicate hint of petrol. On the palate, it reveals a bone-dry, precise profile with
bright acidity and a crisp minerality. Layers of citrus and subtle floral notes
culminate in a pithy, clean finish.

About this wine/region/producer

Most of China’s vineyards lie just north of the Yangtze river. Around 80 per cent of China’s wine growers overall are dedicated to bordeaux-style red wines, and cabernet sauvignon is the predominant grape (China has the largest planting area of cabernet sauvignon vines in the world). You’ll also find pinot noir, muscat hamburg, and grape crossbreeds – made when growers deliberately cross two grape species – such as marselan, a blend of cabernet sauvignon and grenache.
