TASTING NOTES BY LENZ M. MOSER

Speaking on this wine, Jancis Robinson MW said to Lenz M. Moser in 2016: “This is the most important wine in your portfolio – it will reach many consumers around the world a create the awareness for wines from China.”This is also a reason why we put our utmost care in creating this “affordable” wine from our Chateau.

We also wanted to create a new style of unoaked wine from the Chateau – “showing the character of the best Cabernet Sauvignon berries I have ever worked with”, says Lenz. Spice of China, concentrated fruit aromas and flavours you would never expect from such a young Cabernet. The small berries occur in this desert climate to protect themselves from evaporating the water – hence a fantastic skin to juice ratio.
